The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe. Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions.
Heinrich Wilhelm Schott was an Austrian botanist well known for his extensive work on aroids (Araceae).
Homalomena is a genus of flowering plants within the family Araceae. Homalomena are primarily found in southern Asia and the southwestern Pacific, but there are a few species that are known to be indigenous to Latin America. Many Homalomena have a strong smell of anise. The name derives apparently from a mistranslated Malayan vernacular name, translated as homalos, meaning flat, and mene = moon.
Schismatoglottis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. Members of the genus are similar in appearance and growth habit to those of the genus Homalomena, but the two genera are not closely related. The primary difference is that the leaves of Schismatoglottis are not aromatic. Schismatoglottis are found primarily in tropical parts of Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Melanesia. The majority of the species are native to the Island of Borneo.
Bucephalandra is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. There are 30 species of Bucephalandra which have been discovered in Borneo and have been formally described by S.Y. Wong and P.C. Boyce. Most of the species are found in Borneo. Bucephalandra are usually found growing as dense mats over stones or rocks in streams or rivers in moist tropical forest.
Aroideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is the largest subfamily in Araceae and consists of about 72 different genera, and 2,300 species. Many Aroideae have spiny pollen grains without a sporopollenin outer exine layer and lacking an aperture.
Schottarum is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Araceae.
Hestia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, formally described in 2010. It contains only one known species, Hestia longifolia, native to Perak in Peninsular Malaysia and to Brunei and Sarawak on the island of Borneo.
Ooia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, formally described in 2010. It has two known species, both endemic to the island of Borneo.
Fenestratarum is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family Araceae, native to Borneo. There are only two known species, which are found on different soil types and 600 km apart, furthermore each is restricted to one local population.
Gosong is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It has only one currently accepted species, Gosong brevipedunculata, native to Borneo. G. brevipedunculata is a rheophyte living alongside fast‑moving streams.
Tawaia is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Araceae.
