The only one species of Gulubia is G. l~~ngrstaminSa.o utheast Sulawesi has three species of Gronophyllum and one Gulubia namely: G. kjellbergii, G. macrospadix, G. selebicum, and Gulubia longist~mina. South Sulawesi has two species of Gronophyllum and one Gulubia namely: G. kjellbergii, G. microspadix, and Gulubia longistamina. Center Sulawesi has only one species of Gronophyllum, namely: G. sarasinorum, and none of these species growing in North Sulawesi.
