Apoballis: Southeast Asian Aroid Gems

Apoballis is a small genus of Araceae native to Indo-China and western Malesia, resurrected from Schismatoglottis to include about a dozen herbaceous mesophytes with deciduous leaf sheaths and separated pistillate and staminate zones. These plants feature a semipersistent spathe, spiny pollen and an almond-like floral scent, distinguishing them from related genera.
