Studies on Monstereae (Araceae) of Peninsular Malaysia IV: the enigmatic Rhaphidophora corneri refound after 75 years

Rhaphidophora corneri P.C.Boyce, a highly distinctive but hitherto poorly
known species described from fragmentary material collected by E.J.H. Corner late in 1935
from Kemaman (Terengganu state in Peninsular Malaysia) has recently been refound in
neighbouring Kelantan. A much-expanded species description is provided, along with new
information pertaining to its ecology. A reinterpretation of possible relationships with other
Rhaphidophora species is offered in light of these novel data. Photographs depicting newly
observed vegetative morphology are provided.
