Schottariella: Borneo’s Miraculous Aroid

Schottariella is a monotypic genus in the Araceae family, represented solely by Schottariella mirifica, first described by P.C. Boyce & S.Y. Wong in 2009.
This rheophytic herb is endemic to Borneo, where it inhabits steep vertical clay-mud banks along forest streams and is distinguished by its unconstricted spathe and erect thecal projections at male anthesis.
