Scindapsus lucens Bogner & P.C.Boyce is a species of considerable horti-cultural potential, arguably rivalling the commercially important S. pictus, originally described from cultivatedmaterial of unknownprovenance and only later found wild in Sumatera. It has recently been discovered and collected from several localities in southern Peninsular Malaysia, representing both a new record for Malaysia, and through clonal propagation via various tissue culture techniques would supply a sustainable potential source of a local commercial ornamental horticultural product. An enlarged description of S. lucens, and a key to the Peninsular Malaysian Scindapsus are offered. A plate illustrating the diagnostic characters of S. lucens is given.
