Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo XXXXVII – Aridarum ashtonii , a new species from the Hose Mountains, and notes on Aridarum burttii

Wong Sin Yeng & Peter C. Boyce

Aroideana 38E(2): 10–22 (2015).

ABSTRACT

Aridarum ashtonii is described as a new species from highland sandstones of the Hose Mountains, Kapit, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. Aridarum ashtonii has previously been confounded by the authors with Aridarum burttii, a species occurring on lowland riverine shales. Notes on Aridarum burttii are given and the purported origins of the Type specimen questioned. Aridarum ashtonii and A. burttii are illustrated from living plants, and a key to the five species of the Aridarum Burttii Complex is provided. Recognition of A. ashtonii takes Aridarum to 26 accepted, described species.

Wong Sin Yeng & Peter C. Boyce

Aroideana 38E(2): 31–37 (2015).

ABSTRACT

Ongoing fieldwork in the north western part of the “Heart of Borneo” has revealed a new species of Schismatoglottis allied to the recently described and enigmatic Schismatoglottis gui and S. camera-lucida. This novelty is here described and illustrated as Schismatoglottis antu S. Y. Wong & P. C. Boyce, sp. nov.

Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo XXXXVI: Fenestratarum mulyadii – A second species for a recently described genus

Peter C. Boyce & Wong Sin Yeng

Aroideana 38E(2): 4–9 (2015).

ABSTRACT

A second species of the recently established genus Fenestratarum is described, from Kalimantan Timur, Indonesian Borneo, as Fenestratarum mulyadii. This new species represents an over 600 km eastwards extension to the known range of the genus. Fenestratarum mulyadii is figured in colour, and compared to Fenestratarum culum in an identification key.

Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo XXXXVIII – Galantharum, a new genus for the Hottarum Clade

Peter C. Boyce & Wong Sin Yeng

Aroideana 38E(2) cover + 23–30 (2015).

ABSTRACT

Galantharum is described as a new genus of Tribe Schismatoglottideae, with a single novel species, Galantharum kishii. Preliminary molecular analyses place Galantharum basal of a clade composed of Fenestratarum, Bakoa, Hottarum, two clades containing species currently assigned to Aridarum, and a clade of species presently included in Piptospatha.
