A new species, Homalomena amarii (Araceae), is described from North Sumatra, Indonesia. This rheophytic herb occurs in rock crevices along the banks of slow-moving rivers at low elevations. Notably, this species has been commercially traded on social media under the horticultural name Homalomena "Blue Metallic," owing to its distinctive blue-iridescent adaxial leaf surface.
