Identification. Epipremnum falcifolium is found in Brunei, Malaysia (Sabah) and Indonesia (Kalimantan). Epipremnum falcifolium has similar infructescences with massively enlarged stylar tissue but they can usually be readily separated on leaf characters. Dried inflo- rescences and infructescences of E. falcifolium have the region around stigma expanded into two lateral cushions. Epipremnum falcifolium often produces fruits with a solitary seed by abortion ( Boyce 1998).

Distribution and ecology. Widespread. Near rivers, mixed dipterocarp forest, swampy secondary forest, Setap shales, clay soil, yellow sandy loam; 5–250 m elev.
