  • Wikipedia, June 4, 2021(Cyrtosperma: a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae; the genus went through considerable taxonomic changes in the 1980s, and as a result is now considered to be native only to Southeast Asia and some Pacific islands; previously, the genus was believed to be widespread from Asia to Africa and South America, but the African and South American species were subsequently moved into separate genera; now known to be most prominent in New Guinea; the genus Cyrtosperma is unique in this regards because it is the only known big genus in Araceae that is known to be found east of Wallace's line; family: Araceae; subfamily: Lasioideae)
