Adelonema Wallisii
''Adelonema wallisii'' (synonym ''Homalomena wallisii '') is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae native to Venezuela, Colombia, and Panama. It reaches about 6" (15 cm) in height but with a much wider spread. The leaf blades are elliptic to ovate-oblong in shape about 5 - 8" (13 – 20 cm) in length, on rather short stalks, arching or recurving, bright-green with a markings of a marbled yellow. It can be confused with the rather similar ''Aglaonema ''Aglaonema'' is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae. They are native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and New Guinea.

Homalonema
''Homalomena'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. ''Homalomena'' are found in southern Asia and the southwestern Pacific. Many ''Homalomena'' have a strong smell of anise. The name derives apparently from a mistranslated Malayan vernacular name, translated as , meaning flat, and ''mene'' = moon. The plants of this genus are clump-forming evergreen perennials with mainly heart-shaped or arrowheaded shaped leaves. The flowers are tiny and without petals, enclosed in a usually greenish spathe hidden by the leaves. Some authors have proposed splitting the genus and moving all the neotropical species of ''Homalomena'' to ''Adelonema.'' ;Species #''Homalomena adiensis'' A.Hay - western New Guinea #'' Homalomena aeneifolia'' Alderw. - Sulawesi #'' Homalomena agens'' Kurniawan & P.C.Boyce - Kalimantan Timur #'' Homalomena ardua'' P.C.Boyce & S.Y.Wong - Sarawak #'' Homalomena argentea'' Ridl. - Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo #'' Homalomena aromatica'' (Spreng.)

Schismatoglottis
''Schismatoglottis'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. Members of the genus are similar in appearance and growth habit to those of the genus ''Homalomena'', but the two genera are not closely related. The primary difference is that the leaves of ''Schismatoglottis'' are not aromatic. ''Schismatoglottis'' are found primarily in tropical parts of Southeast Asia, New Guinea, and Melanesia. The majority of the species are native to the Island of Borneo.Bown, Deni (2000). ''Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family''. Timber Press. . '' Schismatoglottis prietoi'', described in 2015 from the Philippines, is uniquely fully aquatic or amphibious in habitat.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Araceae
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract). Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. Many species display very decorative leaves and flowers, and they are widely used for gardening; popular as indoor plants and also outdoor plants where climates are mild, and winter freezes will not generally occur. However, some temperate species are also very popular in Mediterranean-climate gardening, or in moderately cool temperate zones, such as ''Zantedeschia''. Description Species within Araceae are often rhizomatous or tuberous, and the leaves nearly always contain calcium oxa ...

Aroideae
Aroideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is the largest subfamily in Araceae and consists of about 72 different genera, and 2,300 species. Many Aroideae have spiny pollen grains without a sporopollenin outer exine layer and lacking an aperture. Genera Taxonomy May be subdivided into a series of twenty five tribes The term tribe is used in many different contexts to refer to a category of human social group. The predominant worldwide usage of the term in English is in the discipline of anthropology.
