Relationships within the Araceae: comparison of morphological patterns with molecular phylogenies.
TLDR
The comparison of the molecular analysis with morphological and anatomical data presented here represents an important basis for a new formal classification for the Araceae and for the understanding of the evolution of this ancient family, a monocot group known in the fossil record from the early Cretaceous.

Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo VII: Schottarum and Bakoa, two new genera from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo
TLDR
A key to the genera and principle subgeneric divisions of Tribe Schismatoglottideae in Borneo is presented and both species were formerly placed in now-defunct Hottarum (= Piptospatha).
Five pollination guilds of aroids (Araceae) at Mulu National Park (Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo)
TLDR
Investigation of the floral biology and pollinators of 21 aroid species representing 10 genera at Mulu National Park to ascertain if additional guilds were active in this, one of the most florally diverse plant families in the tropics found that floral traits such as floral odour, restricted access to the female zone during pistillate anthesis, and anthetic duration affected the type and number of pollinators.

Schismatoglottis and Apoballis (Araceae: Schismatoglottideae): A new example for the significance of pollen morphology in Araceae systematics.
TLDR
This work provides a new example of "compass needle" quality in Araceae on the basis of two closely related genera, Schismatoglottis and Apoballis, and strongly suggests that "Schismatglottis" species with echinate pollen fall into the genus Apoballs.

Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo VII: Homalomena debilicrista, a new species from Malaysian Borneo, and observations of its pollination mechanics
TLDR
Empirical data strongly implicate P. bimaculata and possibly C. schawalleri to be the pollinators of Homalomena debilicrista.

Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo XIII – New Species of Homalomena
TLDR
Five new Homalomena species are described from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, and based on morphological characteristics they are assigned to the Giamensis Complex, Hanneae Complex, and Borneensis Complex of the Cyrtocladon Supergroup.
Compendium Genera Aracearum Malesianum
TLDR
All 42 of currently recognized indigenous Malesian aroid genera (excluding three genera of former Lemnaceae) are detailed, and illustrated.
Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo VI: Homalomena giamensis, a New Species from Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, with Observations on its Pollination
TLDR
Observations of the pollination of Homalomena giamensis were undertaken to record inflorescence mechanics, interactions with insect visitors, and determine the pollinator, which was determined to be the ruteline scarab.
A review of taxonomy and flower-breeding ecology of the Colocasiomyia toshiokai species group (Diptera: Drosophilidae), with description of a new species from Indonesia
TLDR
There is a close synchrony between fl ower-visiting behaviour of flies and fl owering events of host plants, which indicate an intimate pollination mutualism in this species group.

Studies on Schismatoglottideae (Araceae) of Borneo XI: Ooia, a new genus, and a new generic delimitation for Piptospatha
TLDR
Ooia is unique in the Tribe Schismatoglottideae owing to the persistence of the entire spadix axis through to fruit maturation and dispersal, with the entire axis remaining fresh and the non-female flowers sloughing away.
