Homalomena Velvet Pulau Lingga – Rare Velvet Aroid from Indonesia

Homalomena Velvet Pulau Lingga is an exceptionally rare tropical aroid discovered in the Lingga Islands, Indonesia, a region located between the two major islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan (Borneo). This plant is considered one of the most visually unique Homalomena varieties due to its extraordinary velvet foliage displaying a blend of grey and soft pink tones—a color combination rarely seen in the genus.

Collectors and researchers often assume that Homalomena Velvet Pulau Lingga may represent an evolutionary link between Sumatra and Kalimantan Homalomena species. Its geographic discovery site, positioned between these two biodiversity-rich islands, supports the idea of natural hybridization or long-term adaptive evolution.
