Wong, Sin Yeng; Boyce, Peter

Homalomena lambirensis S. Y. Wong & P. C. Boyce is described and illustrated as a new species of the Homalomena Hanneae Complex [Cyrtocladon Clade] from Lambir Hills National Park, NE Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo to where it is endemic. Comparison with the described Bornean species of the Hanneae Complex is made and a identification key to species proffered. Homalomena lambirensis has previously been the subject of detailed pollination biology studies under the erroneous identity Homalomena propinqua Schott (= H. rostrata Griff.). Recognition of H. lambirensis takes to 10 the total of described species for the Hanneae Complex.
