Notes     (Last Modified On 5/6/2009)
general taxon notes:
Homomallium simlaense is similar to Heterophyllium haldanianum (Grev.) Fleisch. (=Callicladium haldanianum) and Homomallium connexum in overall habit and leaf shape, but differs from the latter two species in having shortly acuminate leaf apices and shorter leaf cells.
