Araceae) from South America and Notes on the Tribe Caladieae
Willdenowia 35 – 2005 333 JOSEF BOGNER & EDUARDO G. GONÇALVES Two new species of Xanthosoma (Araceae) from South America and notes on the tribe Caladieae Abstract Bogner, J. & Gonçalves, E. G.: Two new species of Xanthosoma (Araceae) from South America and notes on the tribe Caladieae. – Willdenowia 35: 333-344. – ISSN 0511-9618; © 2005 BGBM Berlin- Dahlem. doi:10.3372/wi.35.35216 (available via http://dx.doi.org/) Two new species of Xanthosoma sect. Acontias, X. mariae and X. latestigmatum, are described and il- lustrated. They have pilose, pedate leaf blades as have in Xanthosoma only X. plowmanii and X. pottii, and their pollen grains are released as monads, unlike in all other Xanthosoma species, which, as far as studied, release the pollen in tetrads. X. mariae is an evergreen plant mainly distinguished by its dark green velvety lustrous leaf blades with numerous leaflets and tuber-like swellings at the junction of petiole and blade; the gynoecium is of the Acontias type and the ovary is pilose in the lower part. X. latestigmatum is seasonally dormant and has medium green leaf blades with numerous leaflets and no tuber-like swellings; the gynoecium is of the Caladium type (with a very broad stigma) and completely glabrous. The relationship of the genera Caladium and Xanthosoma is discussed, C. paradoxum is transferred to Xanthosoma and the new combination X. paradoxum validated, and a key to the genera of the tribe Caladieae given. Introduction Two new species of Xanthosoma Schott cultivated in recent years in the Botanischer Garten München are described here. X. mariae has been collected only once in Peru by Mary Sizemore. -

History and Current Status of Systematic Research with Araceae
HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS OF SYSTEMATIC RESEARCH WITH ARACEAE Thomas B. Croat Missouri Botanical Garden P. O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO 63166 U.S.A. Note: This paper, originally published in Aroideana Vol. 21, pp. 26–145 in 1998, is periodically updated onto the IAS web page with current additions. Any mistakes, proposed changes, or new publications that deal with the systematics of Araceae should be brought to my attention. Mail to me at the address listed above, or e-mail me at [email protected]. Last revised November 2004 INTRODUCTION The history of systematic work with Araceae has been previously covered by Nicolson (1987b), and was the subject of a chapter in the Genera of Araceae by Mayo, Bogner & Boyce (1997) and in Curtis's Botanical Magazine new series (Mayo et al., 1995). In addition to covering many of the principal players in the field of aroid research, Nicolson's paper dealt with the evolution of family concepts and gave a comparison of the then current modern systems of classification. The papers by Mayo, Bogner and Boyce were more comprehensive in scope than that of Nicolson, but still did not cover in great detail many of the participants in Araceae research. In contrast, this paper will cover all systematic and floristic work that deals with Araceae, which is known to me. It will not, in general, deal with agronomic papers on Araceae such as the rich literature on taro and its cultivation, nor will it deal with smaller papers of a technical nature or those dealing with pollination biology. -

Volume 101 Annals Number 1 of the 2015 Missouri Botanical Garden A REVISION OF THE GENUS Thomas B. Croat3 and Lynn P. Hannon CHLOROSPATHA (ARACEAE)1,2 ABSTRACT This is the first revision of the genus Chlorospatha Engl. (Araceae) since Michael Madison’s 1981 treatment.

All Rights Reserved Research Paper BIOSYSTEMATIC STUDIES IN THE GENUS ANAPHYLLUM SCHOTT (ARACEAE) OF WESTERN GHATS Dominic V J1* *Corresponding Author: Dominic V J, [email protected] Anaphyllum Schott. is a genus belonging to the family Araceae with two species—Anaphyllum beddomei Engl. and Anaphyllum wightii Schott. These are unexplored, endemic and threatened plant species in South Western Ghats striving for their existence with treasures of genes with medicinal importance. Two variants of Anaphyllum wightii are noticed in the Western Ghats region throughout Kerala at an altitude of 650 - 1000 meters. Anaphyllum beddomei is observed only at an altitude of 1200-1500 meters from the Agusthya peaks of the South Western Ghats. Tribal communities use these plants as food and as antidote to snake bite. Two morphologically different variants of A. wightii (1-large and 2-small) were noticed in the present study. Morphological and anatomical variations were studied in A. beddomei and in the two variants of A. wightii. The Histo-taxonomical and biochemical prospecting envisaged in the present investigation reveal the important properties of this unexplored endemic and threatened genus and can lay the foundation for the complete cataloguing and indexing of the targeted species. The ISSR molecular marker studies indicate that the two variants of A. wightii with different morphologies have difference in their genetic constitution also.

Correspondence author: Orlando O. Ortiz, [email protected] SUMMARY The aroid flora in Panama includes 436 described species in 26 genera, representing the richest country of Araceae in Central America. Much of the existing knowledge of the Panamanian aroids has been generated in the last 50 years, mainly due to extensive taxonomic studies and, to a lesser extent, by floristic studies. Floristic studies generated valuable information to better understand biodiversity, especially in the poorly- explored areas. For this reason, the main objective of this work is to study the floristic composition of the aroids of a botanically important region: Cerro Pirre (Darién Province). As a result, 430 specimens were Scientia, Vol. 28, N° 2 61 studied, comprising 94 species in 12 genera. The Aroid flora of Cerro Pirre is formed by species of wide geographic distribution (53%) and, to a lesser extent, endemic species (27%). Of the total species, approximately 43% are nomadic vines, 33% epiphytes, 23% terrestrial and a single species epilithic (1%). Ten new records for the flora of Cerro Pirre were recorded and one new record for Panama. -

Durianology, Discovery, and Saltation — the Evolution of Aroids
Gardens’ Bulletin Singapore 71(Suppl. 2):257-313. 2019 257 doi: 10.26492/gbs71(suppl. 2).2019-20 Durianology, discovery, and saltation — the evolution of aroids A. Hay Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, Mrs Macquarie’s Road, Sydney 2000, Australia Jardín Botánico de la Paz y Flora, Bitaco, Valle del Cauca, Colombia [email protected] “If we become attentive to natural objects, particularly living ones, in such a manner as to desire to achieve an insight into the correlation of their nature and activity, we believe ourselves best able to come to such a comprehension through a division of the parts, and this method is suitable to take us very far. With but a word one may remind the friends of science of what chemistry and anatomy have contributed to an intensive and extensive view of Nature... But these analytic efforts, continued indefinitely, produce many disadvantages. The living may indeed be separated into its elements, but one cannot put these back together and revive them. This is true even of inorganic bodies, not to mention organic ones... For this reason, the urge to cognize living forms as such, to grasp their outwardly visible and tangible parts contextually, to take them as intimations of that which is inward, and so master, to some degree, the whole in an intuition, has always arisen in men of science.” — J.W. von Goethe (1749–1832) in Brady, 2012: 272. ABSTRACT. It is argued that E.J.H. Corner’s ‘durianology’ is an integrative, holistic approach to the evolution of angiosperm form which complements reductive, atomistic phylogenetic methods involving the reification of individuated high-level abstractions in the concept of morphological ‘character evolution’.
