Wong, Sin Yeng and Boyce, Peter C. (2017): Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo XX: Homalomena lambirensis sp nov from Sarawak with well-recorded pollination biology. In: Nordic Journal of Botany, Vol. 35, No. 5: pp. 557-562

Abstract

Homalomena lambirensis S. Y. Wong & P. C. Boyce is described and illustrated as a new species of the Homalomena Hanneae complex [Cyrtocladon clade] from Lambir Hills National Park, northeast Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo to where it is endemic. Comparison with the described Bornean species of the Hanneae complex is made and an identification key to species is provided. Homalomena lambirensis has previously been the subject of detailed pollination biology studies under the erroneous identity Homalomena propinqua Schott (= H. rostrata Griff.). Recognition of H. lambirensis takes to 10 the total of described species for the Hanneae complex.
