Known distribution of C. ideii in
Central Kalimantan.

Cryptocoryne ideii is known from just one locality where it grows together
with C. fusca. There are strong indications that a
few other collections from Kalimantan, quite distant from the type locality, may refer to
the this species.
C. ideii is rather easy to grow and it may be a good aquarium plant.
