Abstract: The genus Furtadoa M. Hotta (Araceae) is reviewed, with its morphological characteristics compared to those of Homalomena Schott, and its molecular phylogenetic position analyzed in relation to other Homalomena species. A comparative assessment of molecular data supports the reclassification of Furtadoa within Homalomena, resulting in the establishment of two new combinations. Two species names are changed: H. indrae for F. indrae and H. sumatrensis for F. sumatrensis. In this paper, we also describe a new species of ‘Furtadoa-like’ Homalomena from Riau, Sumatra, H. chikmawatiae A.S.D.Irsyam & M.R.Hariri. This new species is readily identified by its peltate leaves and large sterile appendix at the spadix.
