Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo XXXIX: Schismatoglottis persistens, a new rhizomatous rheophytic species for the Schismatoglottis Multiflora Group

During fieldwork at Batang Ai, SW Sarawak, in 2004 we encountered a rheophytic rhizomatous Phymatarum-like aroid growing on shaded consolidated alluvial clay-loam banks roughly along the upper spate zone of the Sungai Pedali, a steep-banked forest stream draining into the larger Sungai Sumpa. D...
