Anubias barteri var. glabra is a West African aquatic plant with broad dark green leaves, grown mainly as an aquarium plant. The key to growing it is to keep the rhizome above the substrate, attached to rock or wood, rather than buried.
Anubias barteri var. glabra is a variety of A. barteri that was first described by N. E. Brown in 1901.
Like most Anubias species, this plant grows well partially and fully submersed and the rhizome must be above the substrate, attached to rocks or wood. It grows well in a range of lighting and prefers a temperature range of 22-28 degrees C. It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by separating side shoots.
West Africa: Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Bioko, Gabon, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
