形態特徵
天南星科(Araceae)，辣椒榕屬(Bucephalandra)全部可以水下生長。在原生環境下主要依靠匍匐莖蔓延繁殖。個體不大，成長緩慢，造型奇特，是很有前途的新興前景草之一。
由於早期重視程度不夠，2011年底為止只有5個種類被發表。而實際經由探險者，採集者發現的產地標本有大約200種以上。給愛好者的品種收集歸類帶來一定困難。
開花植物,命名源於希臘單詞"公牛的頭",因為它的花葯是牛角形的。
生長環境
辣椒榕大部分生長於靠近水源的岩石上，少部分水下生長於砂質底床中。
分布環境
目前為止只在印度尼西亞及馬來西亞有發現記錄。
辣椒榕養殖方法
辣椒榕生長緩慢但是適應範圍廣。作為觀賞水草，添加Co2可以促進生長。另外水質以及光照都會影響其葉片表現。發色需要富含鐵等微量元素，有一定硬度的水質。
適於固定在沉木或者岩石上，不少品種種植在粗顆粒砂質底床中也可以有較好生長。
