Re: Adelonema

Dear Marek:

 

Adelonema is the new name for American Homalomena. They have been found to be distinct at the molecular level and Adelonema was an existing name.  However, we still need to transfer most of the species which were described as Homalomena not as Adelonema.  We plan to do that after Pete has the documenting evidence published. The Asian Homalomena are will either remain in Homalomena or in some cases be moved into still other genera.

Hello,

 

Is Adelonema a valid genus? I've read about it in the "überlist" published in the IAS homepage.

What species of Homalomena have been moved?

Can I find any document on the web?

 

Best,

Marek
