Dear Christopher: I have a revision Homalomena that has been worked on for years, really an orphan project that was started my Mark Moffler with my help. He died suddenly and his advisors took on the project to finish it but neither of them knew crap about aroid and made a mash of it. Since then I have not attempted to wrest the project away but don’t feel like I can commit a lot of time to someone else’s project. I will have to one day. I have totally realigned the species and have descriptions of most but the introduction needs to be beefed up and there are a lot of internal inconsistencies in the manuscript at present. Peter and I will publish a paper to realign the names, transferring them from Homalomena to Adelonema but he must first publish the paper that verifies these differences.

Thanks, Tom!

I look forward to the publication. Any idea where you will publish? I do not want to miss it!

Happy days,

Christopher

Dear Christopher. There is no publication and the main reason that we put it on the IAS website is that I want to cite the list. Now I can just cite the website.

Hiyer Tom,

Do you have a citation for that change, or has it been published yet?

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
