Canoe Camp, 150 ft. (dry country), and Camp VI b, 3900 ft. (on the side of a ridge). 
This differs from the preceding species in its nearly entire leaves, different venation, 
smaller spadix and spathe, and in the female portion being smaller, with fewer flowers 
less separate and often touching. 
These two plants, with H. tenuwispadix, form a link between the two sections of 
Homalomena, resembling Huhomalomena in the large size of the foliage and the habit, 
and Chamecladon in the small staminodia shorter than the ovaries, and not conspicuously 
white. All also possess the character of distinct female flowers, which do not touch 
each other on the spike.
