| Summary: | Fieldwork on Borneo continues to reveal
additional taxonomically novel Homalomena
species. Twenty novel species were described
for the genus Homalomena from 2071 to
20\4. Amongst these are three new species of
Homalomena, each restricted to one of the richest
ecological habitats on Borneo- lowland forest over
shales. Homalomena cowleyae Boyce & Wong, is
restricted to Setap Shales in Brunei and across
the Sarawak border in Limbang. Plants occur
as scattered individuals or in small groups, and
are decidedly uncommon. Homalomena imitator
Boyce & Wong is so far known only from Sebabai,
Kapit, Sarawak, where it is scattered, although
not notably rare. Homalomena mutans Boyce &
Wong occurs only from forest remnants in the
environs of Kapit town. Extensive fieldwork in
the greater surrounding area as far as Batang
Balleh to the east and Pelagus to the north
has faiied to locate further populations of this
species, although one of its associated species, |
