Hi Marek,
There are species in the genus Homalomena in the Neotropics, but whether
they BELONG in the genus is far from conclusive. A recent molecular study
seemed to show that the Neotropical species are embedded in Philodendron,
but work we are doing here suggests that the situation is rather more
complex and that there may well be several genera involved.
