Homalomena pendula

A lowland Homalomena of mainland and island Southeast Asia, recorded mostly from southern Thailand and Malaysia near sea level. It wants constant warmth, very high humidity and shade, with no real dry season to mimic; species-level growing detail is scarce, so conditions here lean on the measured climate and on forest-floor Homalomena in general.

Where it grows wild

Recorded sites are lowland (0–55 m) in perhumid forest; like most Homalomena it is presumably a terrestrial herb of shaded, moist forest floor, often near streams.

Measured sites lie between sea level and about 55 m.
