Homalomena expedita is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Borneo.[1] A facultative aquatic perennial, in the wild it is found in well-lit swamps and ditches near sea level, even in tidal mudflats, suggesting that it can handle high salinity.[1] In Sarawak it is known in cultivation as an ornamental, and it is regularly available for sale in Bangkok, with the sourcing said to be southern Thailand.[1][2]
