2005 28 191-196 Chunlin Long, Heng Li, W. Chen Amorphophallus in China: How many? (Buy)
ABSTRACT: The species diversity of Amorphophallus in China was studied and revised in the present paper. Twenty-five years after the publication of the Araceae in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae, the species number of Amorphophallus has been increased from 6 to 23. Among these 23 known species, 11 are endemic to China and 12 are edible. The distribution of Amorpbopballus is uneven in China, with Yunnan the richest province in species diversity of the genus.

2013 36 8-29 Hoe Yin Chen, Tung Lay Soon, Peter C. Boyce Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo XIII – New Species of Homalomena (Buy)
ABSTRACT: Five new Homalomena species are described from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo: H. baangongensis L.S.Tung & Y.C.Hoe, H. gastrofructa S.Y.Wong, Y.C.Hoe & P.C.Boyce, H. ibanorum S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce, H. passa S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce, and H. velutipedunculata S.Y.Wong, Y.C.Hoe & P.C.Boyce. Based on morphological characteristics they are assigned to the Giamensis Complex [H. baangongensis], Hanneae Complex [H. gastrofructa, H. velutipedunculata], and Borneensis Complex [H. ibanorum] of the Cyrtocladon Supergroup, and to the Selaburensis Complex [H. passa] of the Homalomena Supergroup. Keys to informal taxa of Bornean Homalomena, and to the species of the above mentioned species complexes are provided. All described novelties are illustrated from living plants, and a comparative plate of the spadix of the five described species of the Borneensis Complex is provided.

2013 36 123-128 Hoe Yin Chen Pothoidium – Neglected, But Not Forgotten? (Buy)
ABSTRACT: Pothoidium, the only functionally dioecious climbing aroid, is presented and the sole species, P. lobbianum, is illustrated from living plants and with two plates from classic aroid literature. A plea is made for heightened interest in cultivating this and other Asian climbing aroids.

2016 39(2) 71-100 Sin Yeng Wong, Hoe Yin Chen, Peter C. Boyce Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo LIX – A preliminary conspectus of Schismatoglottis Calyptrata Complex Clade species for Sarawak (Buy)
ABSTRACT: A preliminary conspectus of species of the Schismatoglottis Calyptrata Complex Clade for Sarawak is presented. Six species are accepted, of which Schismatoglottis baangongensis S.Y. Wong, Y.C. Hoe & P.C. Boyce is newly described, and S. muluensis M. Hotta is resurrected from within S. calyptrata (Roxb.) Zoll. & Moritzi. Current evidence does not support the presence of Schismatoglottis calyptrata sens. strict. in Sarawak, while occurrence on Borneo as a whole is questionable. A modified description of S. calyptrata, excluding characteristics of Bornean taxa hitherto included in synonymy is provided. An identification key to the accepted species for Sarawak is provided, and most are illustrated from living plants.
