''Homalomena'' is a genus of flowering plants within the family Araceae. ''Homalomena'' are primarily found in southern Asia and the southwestern Pacific, but there are a few species that are known to be indigenous to Latin America.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔Govaerts, R. & Frodin, D.G. (2002). World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae (and Acoraceae): 1-560. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.〕〔Boyce, P.C. & Wong, S.Y. (2009). Studies on Homalomeneae (Araceae) of Borneo IV: Homalomena specimens in the herbarium Beccarianum-Malesia (FI-B) of the Museo di Storia Naturale - Sezione Botanica "F.Parlatore" dell'Università di Firenze. Webbia; Raccolta de Scritti Botanici 64: 169-173.〕 Many ''Homalomena'' have a strong smell of anise. The name derives apparently from a mistranslated Malayan vernacular name, translated as ''homalos'', meaning flat, and ''mene'' = moon. The plants of this genus are clump-forming evergreen perennials with mainly heart-shaped or arrowheaded shaped leaves. The flowers are tiny and without petals, enclosed in a usually greenish spathe hidden by the leaves.〔(Flora of China Vol. 23 Page 17, 千年健属 qian nian jian shu, ''Homalomena'' Schott in Schott & Endlicher, Melet. Bot. 20. 1832. )〕 The Tamils knew of this plant for more than 3000 years. It is called merugu (Tamil: மெருகு ) and it is used for several purposes including curing stomach disorders, piles, flem etc. Several oils like kumaraguru enney; merugulli enney, merugu pachai enneyetc. are prepared to cure various type of diseases.〔Bown, Deni (2000). ''Aroids: Plants of the Arum Family'' (). Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-485-7〕 Some authors have proposed splitting the genus and moving all the neotropical species of ''Homalomena'' to ''Adelonema.''〔(Aroid genera )〕〔(The Überlist of Araceae, 2013 )〕 At the present time (August 2014), Tropicos, The Plant List, and the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families have opted not to accept this change.〔(Tropicos, Missouri Botanical Garden )〕〔〔(The Systematics of ''Araceae'' )〕 ;Species〔 #''Homalomena adiensis'' A.Hay - western New Guinea #''Homalomena aeneifolia'' Alderw. - Sulawesi #''Homalomena agens'' Kurniawan & P.C.Boyce - Kalimantan Timur #''Homalomena ardua'' P.C.Boyce & S.Y.Wong - Sarawak #''Homalomena argentea'' Ridl. - Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo #''Homalomena aromatica'' (Spreng.)
