1 26 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 History and Current Status of Systematic Research With Araceae Thomas B. Croat Missouri Botanical Garden P.O. Box 299 St. Louis, MO U.S.A. 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. It will include review papers on technical subjects and all works, regardless of their nature, of current aroid researchers. It is hoped that other reviews will be forthcoming which will cover separately the technical papers dealing with anatomy, cytology, physiology, palenology, and other similar areas and that still another review will be published on the subject of pollination biology of Araceae and the rich literature dealing with thermogenesis. Among the earliest papers featuring what are now called Araceae were those by 1. Fuchs (1542) and John Ray (1682) who were among the first to fully describe plants of Araceae as well as those by Dodoens (1557) who described and illustrated several European species in Arum 1., Arisarum Mill. and Dracunculus Mill. (also featuring Calla palustris 1. under the name Dracunculus palustris). Though these works often had aroids clustered together and thus understood the familial concept it was left to later works, especially Tournefort (1700) and Jussieu, (1789) to define the Araceae in formal terms. Carl Linnaeus, the father of binomial classification, can hardly be considered an aroid specialist, but since his system laid the groundwork for all subsequent work he must be recognized. His (Linnaeus, 1753) SpeCies Plantarum treated only 26 of the more than 3500 species of Araceae currently estimated for the family, and these were placed in four genera: Arum 1. Dracontium 1., Calla 1., and Pothos 1. In Genera Plantarum (Linnaeus, 1754) he added the genus Pistia 1. By the time of his second edition of Species Plantarum (Linnaeus, 1763) he had recognized 36 species. EARUESTSPECUUJSTS~ ARACEAE Schott Although a number of botanists, in addition to Linnaeus, worked with Araceae prior to the early 19th Century, Heinrich Wilhelm Schott was the earliest to specialize almost exclusively with Araceae. He began his studies in the late 1820s and continued until his death. Schott was born January 7, 1794, in Brilnn (Brno), Moravia (now the Czech Republic). His father was the gardener for the botanical garden of the University of Vienna and Schott had early contact with well known botanists,

2 THOMAS B. CROAT, including N. J. and F. J. Jacquin. It was the laner who recommended the young Schon for a position on a trip to Brazil. While in Brazil from mid-1817 through 1821, Schon established and managed an introduction garden, made field trips, and prepared many notes concerning the plants and animals he saw. In 1845 he became Director of the Imperial Gardens at Sch6brunn palace in Vienna, succeeding N. J. Jacquin who had amassed a large collection of tropical aroids (Nicolson, 1987b). Schott remained at Sch6brunn until his death on March 5, Schott's role in the Araceae would be difficult to surpass. He described most of the larger genera, including over one-third of those genera currently in use. Schon's work began with a series of short papers on Araceae (Schott, 1820, 1827, 1829a-g, 1830a-e) which he published as a series entitled "Fur Liebhaber der Botanik" in a trade magazine entitled "Wiener Zeitschrift fur Kunst, Literatur und Mode" [see also Anonymous, Later he published a longer paper (Schon, 1832) in which he treated almost 40 genera, recognizing taxa at sectional and subfamiliallevels. This paper was the first to deal at any serious level with aroid systematics. Following this paper, there was a 21-year hiatus in which he published only a few, short, relatively unimportant papers (Schon, 1851, 1852). However, rather than being inactive, Schott had been preparing his system of classification, commissioning drawings and paintings and otherwise refining his classification system. Between 1853 and 1857 Schon published the first of his summary works, Aroideae (Schott, ) which consisted of 60 plates. It was followed by his SynopSiS Aroidearum (Schott, 1856) and Genera Aroidearum (Schott, 1858a), and finally by the Prodromus Systematis Aroidearum (Schott, 1860). He also published a series of lithographs in four fascicles (Schott, ). During this very active period of his career, Schott also published a long series of very short, relatively less important papers (Schott, 1853, 1854a-e, 1855a-g, 1857a-z, aa-nn, 1858b--i, 1859a-f, 1861, 1862a-d, 1863, 1864a-c, 1865a, 1865b). Most of these articles were published in the Oerstericbiscbes Botaniscbes Wocbenblatt, a technical serial that appeared at a rate of sometimes more than one per week. In the year 1857, 43 Schott articles on Araceae were published! The Prodromus brought his system of classification to a conclusion. Although Schott's herbarium collections (totalling 1379 specimens) were destroyed by fire shortly after the end of World War II, his incredibly detailed drawings of Araceae [commissioned by Schottl, the leones Aroidearum, remained and are now housed at the Vienna Natural History Museum. This set of 3400 line drawings (mostly herbarium specimens) and paintings of living collections were only partially published during Schott's lifetime. Only a few of the illustrations appeared in some of his works (Schott, , 1879a) but a complete micofiche edition of these illustrations has now been published (Schott, 1984) largely through the efforts of H. Riedl and D. H. Nicolson. One fascicle of plates containing Lasieae is lacking even today. In all, Schott described and named 587 species new to science. Among generic names still in use, he published 37 with an additional genus for which he made the transfer and still another for which he was the author of the basionym. No other aroid taxonomist has come close to Schon's record at the generic level; Engler described eight still accepted genera and the only other competitors, Carl Linneaus and N. E. Brown, each have six currently recognized genera. Contemporaries of Schott During his life Schon had few contemporaries who worked with Araceae, if only for a time. Foremost among these was Karl Sigismund Kunth, whose first publication (Kunth, 1818) dealing with observations on the genera of Araceae, even predated the work of Schott. Near the close of his career, Kunth published three short papers on Araceae (Kunth, 1841a, 1841b, 1842), and one large work, his Enumeratio Plantarum (Kunth, 1941a). The latter work

3 28 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 alone described 90 new taxa. In all, he published as new or re-combined, 134 species of Araceae, more than any other aroid worker in his time. Other of Schott's contemporaries who dealt with Araceae include Karl Ludwig Blume, a German botanist employed by the Dutch, who published significant papers dealing with Asian, principally Malesian aroids (Blume, 1827, 1834, ). Otto Kuntze produced an encyclopedic treatment of the Araceae in conjunction with his much broader work dealing with all families (Kuntze, 1891). A similar encyclopedic account was produced by C. Mueller (Mueller, 1858). Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupre (1826) published accounts of the Araceae collected on the voyage of M. Louis de Freycinet. D. N. F. Dietrich (1852) in his Synopsis Plantarum produced the last revision of Linnaeus's Species Plantarum. K. F. P. von Martius wrote a paper dealing with a number of morphological aspects of Araceae (Martius, 1831). Koch Perhaps more Significant from the standpoint of Araceae was Karl Koch, a Berlin botanist whose first publication on Araceae (Koch, 1852, 1856) appears to have shocked Schott (who had obviously been slowly and meticulously accumulating information on Araceae without publishing it) into publication. Koch seemed to have a primary interest in Araceae but apparently did not have the depth of understanding possessed by Schott. Koch published mostly short articles (1852), sometimes including new species descriptions in gardening magazines such as Allgemeine Gartenzeitung (Koch, 1857a-k) and Wochenschrift fur Giirtnerei und Pflanzenkunde (Koch, 1859, 1861, 1868; Koch & Veitch, 1863). Other new species were described in the seed lists of the Berlin Botanical Garden (Koch, 1853, 1854, 1855). Many of Koch's descriptions were based on cultivated plant material, often of unknown origin. From the standpoint of the taxonomy of Araceae, it is tragic that all of his herbarium material was lost by war ac- tion; thus, in many cases it is now not possible to determine what he dealt with. Moreover, since Koch was one of the earliest aroid taxonomists many of his plant names are still valid. In all, Karl Koch described or re-combined 156 taxa. Engler Schott was followed by the even more prodigious worker, Adolf Engler, who was born in 1844 [see biography by Diels (1931»). Engler was 21 years old at the time of Schott's death and produced his first major publications in 1876 (Engler, 1876ab), 11 years after Schott's death, while working at the Munich Botanical Garden. His first works entitled "Zur Morphologie der Araceen" (Engler, 1876a) and "Vergleichende Untersuchungen tiber die morphologischen Verhaltnisse der Araceae" (Engler, 1876b) and several others (Engler, 1877, 1881b, 1883a, 1883c, 1884; Ray & Renner, 1990) dealt with development and emphasized one of Engler's major strengths, a good understanding of the anatomy, morphology and developmental processes in the Araceae. These fields were critical to the development of his system of classification (Engler, 1889a, 1889b). Among Engler's earlier works was his treatment of the Araceae for Martius's Flora Brasiliensis (Engler, 1878a [other works, see below». In this work Engler made the first modifications of the taxonomic system previously proposed by Schott. His treatment of the Araceae in A. & c. de Candolle's "Monographie Phanerogamarum" (Engler, 1879) followed shortly thereafter, and before the turn of the century, he had published a complete revision of Anthurium Schott (Engler, 1898b [see also errata in Engler, 1898c», Philodendron Schott (Engler, 1899a), and Die/ fenbachia Schott (Engler, 1899b). He also published a number of papers (mostly in a series of papers entitled "Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Araceae") describing miscellaneous genera and species, including those from America (Engler, 1878b, 1881a, 1885), from Africa (Engler, 1892, 1899c,

4 THOMAS B. CROAT, d, 1917; Engler & Krause, 1914, 1917); and from Asia (Engler, 1887b, 1889a, 1898a, 1901b, 1907; Engler & Krause, 1912, 1916a, 1916b, 1921, 1922). Some papers deal with Araceae worldwide (Engler, 1883b, 1883c, 1905b) or deal with more than one area, such as Africa and Asia (Engler, 1880, 1898a, 1898b), or Asia and America (Engler & Krause, 1916a, 1916b). Other papers describe the new genera Protarum Engl. (Engler, 1901a), and Ulearum Engl. (Engler, 1905c). Engler prepared descriptions (Engler, 1883a) of Araceae in a discussion of plants collected by O. Beccari in Malesia and Papua New Guinea. Engler also published a major work on the phytogeography of the Araceae (Engler, 1909). Aside from the major floristic work done for Brazil (Engler, 1878a) Engler conducted few floristic works. Exceptions are treatments that he did for other workers including Pittier (1898) for Costa Rica (Engler, 1900) and for J. Schmidt's Flora of Koh Chang (Engler, 1902). He also prepared descriptions of Araceae collected by O. Beccari in Malesia and Papua New Guinea (Engler, 1883a). Although Engler's work was much more diverse than Schott's and involved many families, it can be said that Engler was, at heart, an aroid taxonomist. As Director of the Berlin School of Botany he directed and advised many other botanists and was responsible for the production of such works as Das Pjlanzenreich and Die naturlichen Pjlanzenfamilien, the latter prepared with Karl Anton Eugen Prantl. The Araceae treatment for this latter work was done by Engler (1887) himself. Engler apparently had much more material available than Schott had seen, but he seems to have paid little attention to living material. Before his death in 1930 Engler prepared new revisions for all of the Araceae, down to the species level (Engler, 1905d, 1908, 1911, 1912, 1915, 1920a, 1920c; Engler & Krause, 1908, 1920). Many of these are still in use today and many are still the most recent taxonomic revisions. In all, he described more than 1,100 taxa at or below the specific level. By the end of Engler's career the number of known species of Araceae had risen to 1,800 from the 900 known at the time of Schott (Mayo et al., 1997). Brown Though playing a minor role compared to Engler, his contemporary, N. E. Brown also made important contributions to the study of Araceae. His long tenure at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew left the herbarium literally spattered with his penciled notes on taxonomic problems with specimens. Included among these hand-written notes are tracings of Karl Koch's herbarium in Berlin (now lost). The interpretations and careful notes of N. E. Brown showed that he had a depth of understanding about many serious taxonomic problems that still face taxonomists today and his notes are still immensely useful. Brown also participated in the production of Araceae treatments for floristic works such as the Flora of Tropical Africa (Brown, 1901), described new genera (Brown, 1882a) and numerous new species (Brown, 1880, 1886, 1903, 1912, 1913). In all, Brown published a total of six genera still in use and 135 new taxa. Krause Kurt Krause, who began working with Engler on January 1, 1905, was responsible for a few other small families in Das Pjlanzen reich but soon became interested in the Araceae. He was assigned the task of revising Engler's 1899 treatment of Philodendron for Das Pjlanzenreich (Krause, 1913) but aside from describing some new species (Krause, 1910, 1911a, 1911b, 1912, 1914a, 1914b, 1921, 1922, 1924a, 1925, 1927), he made few changes to the treatment. Together with Engler, he was responsible for the writing of the Das Pjlanzen reich treatments of the Monsteroideae (Engler & Krause, 1908), Philodendroideae-Philodendrineae (Krause, 1913), and Colocasioideae (Engler & Krause, 1920); however, Krause completed the Calloideae alone (Krause, 1908). Active for some years after Engler's retirement,

5 30 Krause published additional species after Engler's death (Krause, 1930, 1932a, 1932b, 1940, 1941, 1942; Krause & van AldeIWerelt, 1924, 1927). In all Krause was responsible for describing 124 taxa and another 75 species in conjunction with Engler. Sodiro Luis Sodiro, working at the turn of the century, described more than 281 taxa of Ecuadorian Araceae, mostly Anthurium, but also included one Heteropsis Kunth, six Rhodospatha Poepp. and fifteen Stenospermation Schott (Sodiro, 1900, 1901a, 1901b, 1903, 1905a, 1905b, 1905c, 1906, 1907, 1908a, 1908b). Sodiro was the first botanist working with Araceae who could be considered a true field botanist and he spent most of his botanical career in the tropics of Ecuador. Born in Italy, Sodiro joined the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) and served in Ecuador until the time of his death. Working from the monastery at Cotocallao, now in the suburbs of modern Quito, Sodiro explored most of the area around Quito, especially the nearby slopes of Volcan Pichincha. His descriptions of Araceae were the first ever to show excellent detail, thereby making it apparent that the descriptions were prepared from live material or from copious field notes. Unfortunately, Sodiro had no concept of types and did not even number his collections. Another major impediment to studying Sodiro's material is that many of his first set of collections remain deposited in the herbarium of the Biblioteca Aurelio P6lit (QPLS) where the specimens are not available to be borrowed for study. For this reason many of his species names remain poorly known. Sodiro's publications are also troublesome because he frequently published the same species several times, sometimes making only slight changes in the manuscript from earlier versions. Dan Nicolson (1984a) has made a definitive study of Sodiro's publications and one must refer to it when dealing with Sodiro's collections. Despite these difficulties, the contributions AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 made by Luis Sodiro were the greatest that ever have been made by any resident on the South American continent. Had he had time to extend his studies to other genera, especially Philodendron, it is impossible to imagine what his contribution might have been. REGIONAL STUDIES WITII ARACEAE Asia Among the earliest who described and often illustrated Araceae in Asia were the Dutchmen, H. A. van Rheede tot Drakestein (1688, 1692), who did massive studies of the Malabar coast of India, P. Hermann (1689) who produced the Paradisus Batavus, and G. E. Rumphius (1747) who studied the flora of the island of Amboina [one of the Mollucas Islands, now Maluku in Indonesia]. Another Dutch botanist, N. L. Burmann (1768), published Araceae in his Flora Indica and C. L. Blume dealt extensively with Malesian Araceae (Blume, ). Another early botanist who described and illustrated Araceae in Malesia was the Italian, Odoardo Beccari (Beccari, 1879, 1882, 1889; Engler, 1879b). Many of the species in Asia were described by regional workers doing floristic studies on particular regions. Except for Japan the earliest workers with aroids in Asia were generally not natives but were primarily botanists from colonial powers working in their own sphere of influence. In the Dutch East Indies it was primarily the Dutch. Other botanists who were describing Araceae from the Dutch East Indies included the British R. Brown (1810), the German J. C. Hasskarl (Hasskarl, 1842), and Dutch botanists J. E. Teijsmann (Teijsmann & Binnendijk, 1862), F. A. W. Miquel (Miquel, , 1856, 1860, 1864, 1867), Hans Hallier (1898, 1901, 1915), C. R. W. K. van AldeIWerelt van Rosenburgh, thankfully abbreviated "AIdeIW." (AldelWerelt van Rosenburgh, 1920, 1922a, 1922b) and C. A. Backer (Backer, 1913a, 1913b, 1913c, 1914, 1920, 1928). In Indochina, it was a Portuguese naturalist Joao Loureiro who published his

6 THOMAS B. CROAT, Flora Cochinchinensis (790) and the Frenchman F. R. Gagnepain who wrote the Araceae treatment for Lecomte's "Flore general de l'indochine" (Gagnepain, 1942a) and other works describing new genera and species (Gagnepain, 1941a, 1941b, 1942b). In the Malay Peninsula it was H. N. Ridley, Director of the Singapore Botanical Garden from 1888 to 1912 (Ridley, 1908, 1916, 1922, 1938), and C. X. Furtado (Furtado, 1930, 1935, 1939, 1941, 1958, 1964a, 1964b), also from Singapore who described Araceae in the area. In the Philippines it was the Spaniard F. M. Blanco (Blanco, 1837) and Americans E. D. Merrill (Merrill, 1912, 1915, 1916a, 1916b, 1917, 1918, 1919, 1921b, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1932, 1935b, 1937, 1948, 1949, 1952) and A. D. E. Elmer (Elmer, 1919, 1938, 1939). Merrill also described species from Guam (Merrill, 1914), Borneo (Merrill, 1921a, 1922a, 1929); Sarawak (Merrill, 1922b, 1928, 1934a) and Hainan in China (Merrill, 1927, 1930a, 1930b; Merrill & Metcalf, 1945), Sumatra (Merrill, 1933) and Vietnam (Merrill, 1942). In Malesia, much of the recent work with the flora was organized by C. G. G. J. van Steenis who began the Flora Malesiana project, a resident in Asia much of his life. Most of his studies were carried out on Java (van Steenis, 1948a, 1948c, 1949, 1965b, 1965a, 1972, 1975). Despite the fact that some of the earlier European workers including Ridley and van Steenis spent considerable portions of their lives in Asia the majority of the Asian species were described in the European centers of botany, in Paris, Brussels, Leiden, Berlin, and Kew. At Kew the role of describing Araceae was first played by William J. Hooker and his son Joseph D. Hooker (J. Hooker, 1883, 1904), the first two directors, and later by N. E. Brown (Brown, 1901) and to a lesser extent by M. T. Masters (1873, 1876, 1878, 1884, 1893a, 1893b, 1898). The elder Hooker played only a minor role dealing directly with Araceae but did publish a number of short papers in Curtis's Botanical Magazine. These dealt with Alocasia (Schott) G. Don (W. Hooker, 1860b, 1863), Amorphophallus Blume (W. Hooker, 1860a), Arum (W. Hooker, 1828), and Pistia (W. Hooker, 1851). J. D. Hooker dealt more extensively with Araceae. He was responsible for the treatment of the Araceae in Bentham & Hooker's Genera Plantarum (J. Hooker, 1883c), a treatment largely based on that of Schott. He also described many species of Araceae as well as the genus Gonatopus Hook. f. Many of his new species were described in his Flora of British India (J. Hooker, 1893). J. D. Hooker also treated many species in great detail in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, including Aglaonema Schott (J. Hooker, 1865b), AIocasia (Hooker, 1865a, 1896), Amorphophallus (J. Hooker, 1888, 1891a, 1893b), Arisaema Mill. (J. Hooker, 1890a, 1890b, 1891b), Colocasia Schott (J. Hooker, 1894), Cryptocoryne Fischer ex Wydler (J. Hooker, 1900), Culcasia P. Beauv. (J. Hooker, 1869 [described as Aglaonema]), Hapaline Schott (J. Hooker, 1893a), Lysichiton Schott (J. Hooker, 1904), Piptospatha N. E. Br. (J. Hooker, 1881b, 1895), Schismatoglottis Zollinger & Moritzi (J. Hooker, 1881a), and Typhonium Schott (J. Hooker, 1875). Many other floristic studies, both regional and general, throughout many years have contributed to the generally high levels of knowledge about Asian plants. Owing to the early English involvement, many of the early floristic studies were made on the Indian subcontinent, including those in W. Roxburgh's Flora Indica (Roxburgh, 1820b, 1832) and in Hortus Bengalensis (Roxburgh, 1814) which cataloged the holdings of the East India Company's living collection in Calcutta. Other early works include those by the German A. W. Roth (1821) and the Dane N. Wallich (1830, 1831). Still other general works on India include those by Burkill (1925), Suresh et al., (1983) and Zhongguo (1994). Works dealing with specific parts of India include that for the Coromandel Coast [SE India] (Roxburgh, 1820a); Assam, South India (Rao & Verma, 1968, 1976; Barnes & Fischer, 1936a); the Calicut area (western sectors of Calicut and Malappuram Dis-

7 32 tricts) (Manilal & Sivarajan, 1982); the Presidency of Madras (Fischer, 1931); the Howrah District (Bennet, 1979); the Presidency of Bombay (Cooke, 1906; Blatter & McCann, 1931); Nainital in Uttar Pradesh (Gupta, 1968), the Bashahr Himalayas (Nair, 1977); Manipur State [NE India] (H. Singh, 1993), the Chikihagular District, Karnataka, India (Bhat, 1993; Yoganarasimhan et al., 1981); as well as of Majuli (Islam, 1990); Punjab (Sharma, 1990), Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Kurz, 1893; Srivastava & Kumar, 1993) and Barren Island (Prain, 1893). C. Fischer published a series of papers during the 1930s dealing with Indian Araceae (Fischer, 1931, 1933, 1934, 1936a, 1936b, 1939) and F. Baius (936) wrote on the medicinal and poisonous aroids of India. New species of Arisaema (Rao & Srivastava, 1991; Yadav et ai., 1993) have been recently described from India (see also Sivadasan below). Studies of Araceae in non-indian areas on the Indian subcontinent include those in West Pakistan (Nasir, 1978); Bangladesh (Khan & Halim, 1987); Bhutan (Noltie, 1994); Nepal (Wallich, 1824; Hara, 1978); Himalayas (Polunin & Stainton, 1984) and Eastern Himalaya (Hara, 1966). Araceae studies in areas adjacent to India include those in Ceylon (Thwaites, 1864; Trimen, 1898; Alston, 1931) and Burma (Kurz, 1873). Elsewhere in Southeast Asia studies were made in Thailand (Ridley, 1911a; Craib, 1912, 1913; Hu, 1968; Suvatti, 1978) and the Malay Peninsula including West Malesia (Jack, 1820; Burkill & Holttum, 1923; Ridley, 1885, 1893, 1902, 1904, 1907a, 1907b, 1909, 1910; 1911a, 1911b, 1912, 1925a; Rendle, ; Henderson, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1939, 1954; Merrill, 1952; Chin, 1982; van Steenis-Kruseman, 1963, 1966, 1975); Malaya [Perak] (Hemsley, 1887); Malaya (Johore) & Singapore (Comer, 1978); [Pahang, Gunung Ulu Kalil (Stone, 1981); Singapore (Ridley, 1900). Studies in Indochina were those by Gagnepain (1942a) and by Merrill 0935a); others were in Vietnam (Pham Hoang Ho, 1960). Other studies were made in Borneo (Rendle, 1901; Ridley, 1905, 1913, 1914; AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 Gibbs, 1914; Masamune, 1942); Sabah, (Stapf, 1894); Sarawak and Brunei (Anderson, 1963; Wong, 1990).

[See also the contributions by Merrill elsewhere.] In Japan most species of Araceae were described by T. Makino (Makino, 1892, 1893, 1901a, 1901b, 191Oa, 1910b, 1911, 1913, 1918a, 1918b, 1928, 1931, 1932, 1960, 1961) and T. Nakai (1917, 1918, 1928, 1929, 1931, 1934, 1935a-d, 1937a, 1937b, 1938, 1939a-c, 1940a-d, 1943). Other works from Japan included those by M. Honda (1939), S. Kitamura et al. (1977); G. Koidzumi (1928), T. Koyama (1965),]. Ohwi (1953,1965), and]. Ohashi (1982). Another dealt with Okinawa and the southern Ryukyu Islands (Walker et al., 1976). Floristic works and miscellaneous papers on Araceae in Australia include: general (Brown, 1810; Mueller, 1858, 1874, 1876a, Bentham, 1878; Maiden, 1889, 1905; Domin, 1911, 1915; Green et al., 1994; Jones et al., 1977; Pate & Dixon, 1982; Elliot & Jones, 1982, 1984, 1990; Morley, 1983; Jones et al., 1977; Jones & Gray, 1988, Briggs & Leigh, 1988; Hnatiuk, 1990; Hay, 1989, 1992a, 1993a, 1993b, 1995); Queensland (Bailey, 1883, 1891, 1897, 1902, 1913, 1914; Orsino & Dameri, 1992; Williams, 1979); New South Wales (Moore & Betchie, 1893; Dixon, 1908; Evans, 1961, 1962; Hay, 1993c), Lord Howe Island (Oliver, 1916), Sydney region of New South Wales (Beadle et al., 1963, 1982; Beadle, 1987); Carolin & Tindale, (1993); Victoria (Ewart, 1930; Willis, 1962); Central Australia (Jessop, 1981); South Australia (Black, 1909, 1943, 1978, 1986; Eichler, 1965; Jessop, 1986); Western Australia (Gardner, 1931); Kimberley region [Western Australia] (Rye, 1992); Northern Territory (Ewart & Davies, 1917; Blake, 1954; Lazarides et al., 1988); Cocos Islands [no of Australia] (Prain, 1891); and Norfolk Island (Maiden, 1903). The region of Oceania, though not rich in Araceae, has been well studied from the standpoint of aroid floristics. Among the earliest studies made in the region was that by ]. G. A. Forster (1786) who made a floristic study of the so called Australian Islands (Southern Islands, i.e. New Zealand, New Caledonia, and many of the smaller Oceanic islands. Still another early study was that by B. C. Seemann (1868, 1869a, 1869b) on Fiji. Other studies in the Oceanic region included that on the Samoan Islands (Christophersen, 1935; Reinecke, 1898); Rarotonga [Cook Islands] (Wilder, 1931); the southeastern Moluccas (Hemsley, 1885b); Ryukyu Islands (Hatusima, 1962); Micronesian Islands (Koidzumi, 1916; Hosokawa, 1937; Hatusima, 1939; Kanehira, 1933, 1935); Makatea (Wilder, 1934); Guam (Safford, 1905; Stone, 1964); Tonga Islands (Hemsley, 1893; Yuncker, 1959; Hotta, 1963a; Whistler, 1991); Christmas Island (Rendle, 1900; Ridley, 1906); Niue [New Zealand] (Yuncker, 1943; Sykes, 1970); Kermadec [New Zealand] (Sykes, 1977; Parham, 1972), Ponape [Caroline Islands] (Glassman, 1952), New Hebrides (Guillaumin, 1932, 1938), and New Caledonia (Guillaumin, 1937, 1943, 1947, 1948, 1962; Rendle, 1921). In contrast to much of Asia the Japanese have largely studied their own flora. Local Japanese botanists who made great contributions to the understanding of the Araceae include Tornitaro Makino ( ) and Takenoshin Nakai ( ) from the University of Tokyo and Director of the National Science Museum. Nakai described many species, mostly species of Arisaema, and he also published a new system of classification (Nakai, 1943) which excluded a few long-standing genera of Araceae, incorporating them into their own families, Pistiaceae, Cryptocorynaceae, and Acoraceae (only the latter is still excluded from the Araceae). Nakai's students, Fumio Maekawa and Hiroshi Hara, were also very much interested in Araceae, especially Arisaema. F. Maekawa (1932, 1934, 1936) described new species from Japan. Hara described new species of Arisaema (Hara, 1935a, 1935b, 1961, 1965; Hara & Ohashi, 1973) and made critical revisions for the Flora of the Eastern Himalaya (Hara, 1%6, 1971a). Later he proposed an infrageneric system of classifi- 33

9 34 cation for the genus Arisaema (Hara, 1971b), a system since adopted by Wu Cheng Yih and Li Heng (979) and recently revised by Jin Murata (984). A later paper described additional species from Himalaya (Hara, 1973). Another Japanese botanist, Shiro Kitamura, working about the same time as Hara, published several significant papers on Araceae of Japan (Kitamura, 1941, 1949; and compiled Coloured Illustrations of Herbaceous Plants of Japan (Kitamura et al., 1977) that contains line drawings and paintings of Araceae. F. Maekawa 0924, 1932, 1934, 1936, 1937) also published works on Arisaema. Africa In Africa the colonial powers, Belgium and Germany, but especially Britain and France, began most of the floristic projects. In general, the Araceae treatments were done by botanists like F. N. Hepper, writing for the Flora of West Tropical Africa (Hepper, 1968a-c), who were competent researchers but not formally trained aroid specialists. Hepper's treatment of the Araceae for that flora (a revision of an earlier flora by the same name (Hutchinson & DalZiel, 1936) is a remarkably good one. In addition, his understanding of the genus Culcasia (Hepper, 1965, 1967), probably the most complex genus in Africa, was particularly good. An exception to the rule that most flora writers were non-aroid specialists might be N. E. Brown who prepared the Araceae treatment for the Flora of Tropical Africa (Brown, 1901). Other publications that contributed to the generally high level of knowledge about African flora include some generic studies for all of Africa (Thonner, 1915) and for South Africa (Dyer, 1976), as well as general floristic studies in the Mascarene Islands (Mayo, 1983b), German East Africa (or Tanganyika and now mostly Tanzania) (Mildbraed, 1936; Peter, 1929), Belgian Congo (Katanga) [until recently Zaire and now Congo] (Wildeman, 1921, 1922), Senegal (Lykke, 1994), as well as Egypt and western Asia (Boisser, 1884). Recent pa- AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 pers dealing with African species deal with Zantedeschia Spreng. (Letty, 1973; Perry, 1989), Zamioculcas Schott (Obermeyer & Strey, 1969), and Gonatopus (Obermeyer 1977; Obermeyer & Bogner, 1979) and Ghana (Beath, 1993). [See also Ntepe-Nyame and Knecht, below.] Madagascar was a special interest of Samuel Buchet (Bogner, 1980g), a French botanist who described Arisaema and Pothos species from Asia (Buchet, 1911a, 1911b) and studied the Arophyteae (Buchet, 1939a, 1942), the dominant element of the Malagasy flora. Josef Bogner (see below) has had the greatest impact on the study of Araceae in Madagascar. The Seychelles near Madagascar also have a flora and the island is important as having the endemic genus Protarum (Robertson, 1989). America In contrast to Africa and Asia where there were strong botanical interests within the colonial powers, the neotropics had little early exploration and very few floristic projects. Neither Spain nor Portugal made much headway towards the production of floras nor did they even launch major collecting programs. Exceptions were the expeditions of Sesse & Mo<;ino, Ruiz and Pavon and Triana & Planchon, but they collected few specimens of Araceae. Regardless of their origin, most eighteenth and nineteenth century botanists collected and described relatively few Araceae, though some are worthy of mention. E. F. Poeppig collected and described a number of important species of Araceae from Peru and Brazil (Poeppig, 1845). Also important was A. F. M. Glaziou and H. W. Schott, both working in Brazil. While Glaziou collected many species described by Schott and others he did not publish any. F. A. W. Miguel collected important Araceae in the Guianas as did R. Spruce in the Amazon basin (though the latter did not publish any new species). Aside from Luis Sodiro who collected Araceae in Ecuador [see Sodiro above] most of the other important collectors of Araceae in the 19th

10 THOMAS B. CROAT, 1998 century did not publish on Araceae. These included F. Lehmann, collecting in the western Andes of Colombia and Ecuador, E. Ule in the upper Amazon basin, as well as August Fendler and H. Pittier collecting in Venezuela. With the notable exception of J. M. da Concei~ao Vellozo ) who published Araceae in his Flora Fluminensis (Vellozo, 1825(829)' 1831a, 1831b) few early Portuguese or Spanish described Araceae [see Stellfeld, 1950 for an account of the work of Vellozo). With the minor exceptions of M. S. Bertoni (Paraguay), G. M. Barroso, specializing on Araceae at the Rio de Janiero Botanical Garden and P. R. Reitz, also from Brazil and working on the Araceas Catarinensis (Reitz, 1957), few Araceae were described by native-born Latin Americans. In Latin America as in Asia, the new species were in part described by the flora writers from other countries or by plant explorers such as Europeans N. J. JacqUin, F. A. W. Miquel, and others. The works of Jacquin 0760,1763,1772, 1790a, 1790b, 1797) based on his travels in the West Indies are important because he was one of the first to describe Araceae from the New World. His colored paintings in /cones Plantarum Rariorum Qacquin, 1790a) are particularly noteworthy. John G. Baker described and illustrated a number of Araceae, especially Anthurium in Saunder's Refugium Botanicum (Baker, 1871). S. L. Moore included Araceae in his studies of the plants of Mato Grosso in Brazil (Moore, 1895). During the twentieth century, American institutions began serious studies in Latin America and authors such as P. C. Standley, who wrote a series of floras in Central America and J. F. Macbride, who worked on the Flora of Peru, described a number of new species. In addition, small but important collections were described from Colombia by R. E. Schultes during his ethnobotanical studies of the neotropics and L. Diels (1937a, 1937b), working at the Berlin Botanical Garden, described collections made in Ecuador. The Dutch under Pulle also started a flora in Suriname, then a Dutch territory. Floristic studies did not playas great a role in the Americas as they did in Asia and Africa; however, a number were done. For South America these include: Argentina, (Crisci, 1971; Crisci & Katinas, in press; Hauman & Vanderveken, 1917); Buenos Aires Province (Crisci, 1968a); Bolivia (Rusby, 1910, 1927); Brazil (Stellfeld, 1950), Amazonas (Smith, 1939), Bahfa (Harley & Mayo, 1980); Rio Grande do Sui State (Rambo, 1950), Rio de Janiero State (Casiri, 1982); Cardoso Island (Olaio & Catharino, 1991); Colombia (Garcia-Barriga, 1974); Ecuador (Dodson & Gentry, 1978; Dodson et al., 1985); French Guiana (Aublet, 1775; Lemee, 1955; Croat, 1995b); Guyana (British Guiana) (Gleason, 1929; Graham, 1934); Paraguay (Bertoni, 1916; Chodat & Hassler, 1903; Chodat & Vischer, 1919; Croat & Mount, 1988); Peru (Macbride, 1936); Surinam [see Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker below); Uruguay (Herter, 1943; Marchesi, 1984); and Venezuela (Pittier et al., 1945; Maguire, 1948; Steyermark, 1951; Steyermark & Huber, 1978; Bunting, 1995; Gines et al., 1953). The earliest effort to produce a flora from Central America was that by William Botting Hemsley (Hemsley, 1885a). Other floristic works done later include those by: L. O. Williams (981) in Central America; I. Johnston (949), F. Liebmann (849), c. L. Lundell (1937, 1939, 1941), R. McVaugh (993), M. Martfnez & E. Matuda (979), and Espejo Serna & Lopez Ferrari (993) in Mexico; McVaugh (993) in western Mexico; H. H. Bartlett (937) in Peten Province, Guatemala; T. K. Yuncker (940) and A. Molina (975) in Honduras; D. L. Spellman et al., (1975) in Belize; Engler (900) in Costa Rica, and Paul Standley (see Standley below) in various other countries. In the West Indies, floristic studies have been numerous and this area was one of the first to be explored by collectors such as C. Plumier, H. Sloane, N. J. Jacquin, and others. In fact, many of the earliest names of New World plants are based on West Indian types. General floristic accounts include studies in the Dutch Antilles (Arnoldo, 1971; Boldingh, 1913); Jamaica (Adams, 1972; Proctor, 1982); Cayman Islands (Proctor, 1984); Cuba (Grise- 35

11 36 bach, 1864, 1866; Sauvelle, 1868; Leon, 1946); Haiti (Barker & Dardeau, 1930; Liogier, 1981); Dominican Republic (Moscoso, 1943; Hodge, 1954a); Puerto Rico (Liogier, 1965; Liogier & Martorell, 1982); Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (Britton & Wilson, 1923, 1926; Acevedo-Rodriguez, 1966); the Windward and the Leeward Islands (Beard, 1949); Barbados (Gooding et al., 1965); Guadeloupe and Martinique (Heckel, 1897); and Lesser Antilles (Howard, 1979) ~A DERTH OF ARACEAE RESEARCH Only a few of the earlier above mentioned non-specialists and flora writers did specialized research with Araceae during the three decades following the completion of Engler's treatment of the family in Das Pjlanzenreich (Engler, 1905a, 1911, 1912, 1915, 1920a, 1920b, 1920c). A few floristic projects in the neotropics were pursued, such as the Araceae treatment for the Flora of Peru (Macbride, 1936) and various floristic projects by Paul Standley in Central America. Perhaps the lack of monographic research was due to the disruption caused by two World Wars and a major worldwide depression, or to the mistaken belief that the Das Pjlanzenreich treatment was a complete revision of all the species that existed. However, there are exceptions to this ebb in specialized research activity during the 1920s through the 1940s. For example, there was research with leaf architecture by the German botanist P. Ottmar Ertl (1932). This work detailed petiolar anatomy, blade shape, and included an analysis of venation in many different genera of Araceae. Other general publications dealt with chromosomes in Anthurium by Lulu O. Gaiser (Gaiser, 1927, 1930) and other miscellaneous genera (russen, 1928; Ito, 1942). The French botanist, Samuel Buchet, published several papers dealing with the systematics of the Araceae between 1920 and 1939 (Buchet, 1939a, 1939b, 1942; Buchet & Guillaumin, 1939). He published AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 new plant species descriptions from Asia and especially from Madagascar. Another Frenchman, H. Jumelle, also worked on the plants of Madagascar (rumelle, 1919, 1928). Still another French botanist, A. Chevalier, published a few papers on Araceae during the same era. These dealt with aquarium plants, Cryptocoryne (Chevalier, 1934a, 1934b), and Cercestis Schott in West Africa (Chevalier, 1920). In the late 1940s and early 1950s the Indian botanist, D. Chatterjee, published new species of Arisaema from Burma, India, and Sikkim (Chatterjee, 1949, 1955). Matuda Although botany languished to some extent in other parts of the world due to the influence of World War II, there was a renewed interest in research in the Western Hemisphere after the war. The first signs of renewed research activity was with the Araceae in Mexico. Eizi Matuda, a native of Nagasaki, Japan but a naturalized Mexican citizen since 1928 (arriving in 1922), worked extensively on Araceae in the 1950s. Matuda was a field man and traveled into remote areas by mule; thus acquiring an excellent knowledge of much of tropical Mexico. His descriptions, though relatively detailed, do not compare with those of Sodiro. Matuda's first papers published a new species of Dracontium (Matuda, 1949) as well as one of Monstera and Philodendron (Matuda, 1949a). These were followed by floristic accounts of particular regions including Mount Ovando (Matuda, 1950a), the districts of Soconusco and Mariscal (Matuda, 1950b), and the state of Mexico (Matuda, 1957a). Miscellaneous new Mexican species were described in nearly all Mexican genera of Araceae throughout his career (Matuda, 1950c, 1950d, 1951, 1952, 1956a, 1956b, 1957b, 1959a, 1959b, 1961a, 1961b, 1965, 1966, 1972, 1975). In all, Matuda described more than 50 species of Araceae, all from Mexico. His most useful work is a treatment of the Araceae of Mexico which includes both dichotomous keys and descriptions (Matuda, 1954).

12 THOMAS B. CROAT, 1998 Floristic Work in South America During the time that Matuda was collecting and describing plants in Mexico, Richard Evans Schultes, a non-aroid specialist, was collecting and describing new species in conjunction with his ethnobotanical studies in South America, especially Amazonian Colombia. His ethnobotanical findings are summarized in a recent book (Schultes & Raffauf, 1990). In all, Schultes described about 20 species. Many of these remain accepted names (Schultes, 1953, 1954, 1958, 1959, 1963, 1964a, 1964b; Schultes et al., 1978, 1994). At about the same time, Basset Maguire from the New York Botanical Garden discovered new species during his expeditions to the Guayana Highlands (Maguire, 1948). Among those participating in his expeditions were George Bunting and Julian Steyermark. Some of the new species were named independently by Steyermark or Bunting but some were also described by Alex D. Hawkes, a Californian. Though some of the species that Hawkes described proved to be new, he frequently placed species in the wrong genus. Though Hawkes described species in several papers (Hawkes, 1948, 1951a, 1951b) he was not really considered an expert on aroids. Research with Araceae also was renewed in South America during the 1950s with the Flora of Suriname project. This work was carried out during the 1950s and mid-1960s by A. M. E. Jonker-Verhoef and her husband F. P. Jonker. The first paper in the series (Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker, 1953a) updated Pulle's 1906 "Enumeration of the Vascular Plants of Surinam" and described two new species. Later in the same year, a new treatment of the Araceae of Suriname (Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker, 1953b) was published treating 18 genera and 67 species. As a sign that most tropical floras started toward the middle of the present century were begun prematurely, a paper published only six years later added another thirteen species new to the flora (Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker, 1959) and yet another (Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker, 1966, 1968) reports an additional 7 species. The work done by the Jonkers was thorough and detailed but their interest with the Araceae did not extend beyond Suriname. Floristic Work in Central America Paul C. Standley was more of an aroid specialist since he did Araceae treatments for a half dozen separate Central American floras or florulas that described new Araceae during the decades of the 1930s and 1940s. These floras were for the Panama Canal Zone (Standley, 1928), Lancetilla Valley in Honduras (Standley, 1931), Barro Colorado Island (Standley, 1927, 1933), Belize (Standley & Record, 1936), Costa Rica (Standley, 1937), Panama (Standley, 1944), and Guatemala (Standley & Steyermark, 1958). In addition, he published several other smaller papers with new species descriptions (Standley, 1932, 1940a, 1940b, 1944, 1958b; Standley & Steyermark, 1943; Standley & L. O. Williams, 1951; 1952). Still, considering how many potential new species there were in Central America, Standley and his coworkers did not describe very many. In all, Standley alone or with Julian Steyermark and! or Louis O. Williams described 42 species of Araceae during this era. Renewed Revisionary Efforts After 1950 In addition to the floristic efforts which began in the early 1950s considerable new revisionary activity began as well with a number of new aroid researchers. One of first of these was H. C. D. de Wit who worked exclusively with the limited number of aquatic aroids that can be grown in fish tanks. These plants have a good commercial value and have spawned a number of research projects, most of them centered at the University of Wageningen in Holland and a few other places in Europe. The most active research on these aquatic aroids began with de Wit and Karel Rataj and progressed until the time that Niels Jacobsen published several important papers on the genus Cryptocoryne [see be- 37

13 38 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 low}. New species continue to be discovered in the genus. De Wit published his first papers, all dealing with Cryptocoryne in 1953 (de Wit, 1953a, 1953b, 1953c). They were published in popular aquarium magazines Fisbkeeping and Waterlife and Het Aquarium. Other species of Cryptocoryne were treated in papers published in succeeding years (de Wit, 1954, 1956, 1957, 1958a-g), and it was not until 1958 that de Wit described his first new species (de Wit, 1958b). He then published many short papers (de Wit, 1959a-i; 1960a-e, 1961a-e, 1963a-d, 1971a-c, 1975a, 1975b, 1976, 1979) in Het Aquarium a Dutch magazine popular with the aquarium enthusiasts. Written in Dutch and of one to four pages in length, each article deals with a single species of Cryptocoryne. Each fascicle is illustrated with photographs or detailed drawings and sometimes with colored paintings or photographs. One additional species was described in Artedi (de Wit, 1975b). The first widely useful paper by de Wit presented a key to all the known species of Cryptocoryne along with detailed photographs (de Wit, 1969). De Wit's other publications include a short article on pollination in Cryptocoryne (de Wit, 1978a), chromosome numbers (de Wit & Jacobsen, 1982), and a complete revision of another aguatic genus, Lagenandra Dalzell (de Wit, 1978b). The publication is written in Dutch and contains excellent illustrations and keys as well as details on the biology. De Wit has summarized his work nicely in a series of books, all well illustrated with detailed drawings and colored plates. These books deal with numerous aquatics but the Araceae constitute the largest share (de Wit, 1983). The first version was printed in Dutch (de Wit, 1966), reprinted in 1982 (de Wit, 1982), and an essentially identical version was published in 1990 in German (de Wit, 1990). Simultaneously, the Czech botanist, Karel Rataj was doing revisionary work on Cryptocoryne. His book on Cryptocoryne (Rataj, 1975) divided the genus into 4 subgenera and 16 sections and described three of the subgenera and all of the sections as new. Rataj recognized 52 species of Cryptocoryne while describing seven new species and six new varieties. Another paper described new cultivated species of the genus (Rataj, 1974). Rataj also published a book Aquarium Plants, which he coauthored with T. Horeman (Rataj & Horeman, 1977) as well as a paper dealing with Typbonium flagelliforme (Lodd.) Blume (Rataj, 1982). In the 1950s, Haruyuki Kamemoto, working at the University of Hawaii, carried out an extensive breeding program with Antburium in order to provide new and beautiful stock for the Hawaiian cut flower industry. Much of his original stock of wild collected material came from a field trip to Panama with Yoneo Sagawa in the early 1960s. Kamemoto's successes were many and most of his publications dealt with the development of new cultivars (Kamemoto & Nakasone, 1955, 1963; Kamemoto & Sheffer, 1978, 1982; Kamemoto et al., 1986, 1993). He also did genetic research with Araceae, especially the inheritance of color in the spathe, in collaboration with R. Y. Iwata, C. S. Tang, S. Wannakrairog and M. Marutani (Iwata et al., 1985; Marutani et al., 1987; Kamemoto et al., 1988; Wannakrairog & Kamemoto, 1990a, 1990b). Other technical research done by Kamemoto and his students include the use of gel electrophoresis for the identification of Antburium cultivars (Kobayashi et al., 1987) and an extensive use of cytology, especially by R. Sheffer, S. Wannakrairoj, K. Kaneko (Kaneko & Kamemoto, 1978), and M. Marutani (Marutani et al., 1988, 1993) [see also Sheffer below). Kamemoto's many years of research with aroids are summarized in a book entitled Breeding Antburium in Hawaii (Kamemoto & Kuehnle, 1996), coauthored by Adelheid R. Kuehnle [see Kuehnle below] who took Kamemoto's position at the University of Hawaii upon his retirement. A small group of researchers in the Department of Horticulture at the University of Hawaii continues the Antburium studies begun by H. Kamemoto. Most of the work,

14 THOMAS B. CROAT, carried out with students under the supervision of Adelheid R. Kuehnle or in collaboration with her colleagues, Tessie Amore and Nellie Sugii (the latter two, who deal with classical plant breeding and histology), histologist David Webb and biochemist T. S. Tang, deals with aspects of plant cultivation (Kuehnle et al., 1996), breeding, morphology, embryology (Kuehnle et al., 1996), novel methods of regeneration (Kuehnle et al., 1992; Kuehnle & Sugii, 1991a, 1991b) and gene transfer (Kuehnle & Chen, 1994; Chen & Kuehnle, 1996; Kuehnle & Nan, 1991). Tracie K. Matsumoto, a student of Kuehnle, did her thesis on the embryology of Antburium (Matsumoto, 1994) and has subsequently published other papers on the origin of somatic embryos (Matsumoto et al., 1996), on improvements of observing plant structures with light microscopy (Matsumoto et al., 1995), and on micropropagation of anthuriurns (Matsumoto & Kuehnle, 1966). Nuttha Kuanprasert, another student, has begun a study of Antburium fragrances (Kuanprasert & Kuehnle, 1995). Monroe Birdsey, who did his graduate work at the University of California then taught at Miami-Dade Community College in Miami, was active in the Araceae with research during the 1950s. His unpublished thesis, entitled "The morphology and taxonomy of the genus Syngonium Schott" (Birdsey, 1955a), was a thorough study with emphasis on anatomy. Always interested in cultivated plants, he published The Cultivated Aroids, one of the earliest popular books of its kind devoted to Araceae (Birdsey, 1951). This work illustrated and described 70 species of Araceae. Shorter works include articles placing Pseudobomalomena pastoensis A. D. Hawkes into synonymy with Zantedescbia aetbiopica (L.) Spreng. (Birdsey 1955b), taxonomic problems with the confusing cultivar "golden pothos" (Epipremnum pinnatum cv. aureum Nicolson) CBirdsey, 1962b), and the reintroduction of Homalomena roezlii Regel (Birdsey, 1962a) into cultivation. His collection of living plants at his estate in Miami is one of the finest of its kind in the world, possessing many fully grown species of Araceae. The late Donald G. Huttleston, who revised Arisaema of North America, published a discussion of three subspecies of Arisaema (Huttleston, 1949) even before he completed his thesis. His thesis involved a taxonomic study of the Araceae of North America (Huttleston, 1953). Other papers dealt with the nomenclature of Lysicbiton (Huttleston, 1955) and further reports on Arisaema (Huttleston, 1981, 1984). B. Bergdolt (1955), working at Freiburg University in Germany worked with anatomical and embryological research on leaf mottling and other leaf types. Finally, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Dutch botanist, R. C. Bakhuizen v.d. Brink, though never deemed to be a major player in Araceae, did make significant contributions with his studies of the Araceae of Java (Bakhuizen, 1957; Bakhuizen & Koster, 1963). He also published a paper dealing with the differences in certain members of the Monsteroideae (Bakhuizen, 1958). Despite the scattered and localized research mentioned earlier it was not until the beginning of the 1960s that much serious research with Araceae re-occurred since the time of Engler and Krause. The early 1960s saw the active publication by taxonomists George S. Bunting, Graziela Maciel Barroso, Dan Nicolson, Mitsuru Hotta, Cecil T. Prime, Harald Riedl, and Hiroyoshi Ohashi. Though Bunting's publication career was strongest during the 1960s, his first paper, a key to the genera of Araceae in Venezuela written in Spanish, was published in the mid-1950s (Bunting, 1956). Articles regarding cultivated aroids came next (Bunting, 1955, 1956b, 1959, 1961b) followed by the publication of his Ph.D. thesis, a revision of the genus Spatbipbyllum Schott (Bunting, 1960a) and a continued flurry of publications throughout the 1960s, many of which dealt with mostly Venezuelan genera (Bunting, 1960b; Bunting & Steyermark, 1969) or floristic regions in Venezuela such as Chimanta (Bunting, 1963a) or Auyan-tepuf

15 40 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 (Bunting, 1967) and the Sierra de Lema (Bunting, 1963b), the description of new species (Bunting, 1963c) or taxonomic problems with cultivated plants including Spatbipbyl/um (Bunting, 1961a), Dieffenbacbia (Bunting, 1962a, 1963d, 1966a, 1988c), Alocasia (Bunting & Nicolson, 1963), Antburium (Bunting, 1963d), Monstera Adans. (Bunting, 1962d, 1966a, 1966b), Syngonium (Bunting, 1966b), and Pbilodendron (Bunting, 1966d, 1966e; Moore, 1974). Other papers dealt with the differences between Scbizocasia Schott and Alocasia (Bunting, 1962b), the delimitation of genera of the Monsteroideae (Bunting, 1962c), and a discussion of Pbilodendron bederaceum-scandens complex (Bunting, 1963D. Of his papers treating species of areas other than Venezuela, the most useful are his commentary on the Araceae of Mexico (Bunting, 1965) and a discussion of the anatomy and taxonomy of the Pbilodendron scandens complex (Bunting, 1968). Part of Bunting's early work was begun at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, then continued at the Bailey Hortorium at Cornell University. From Cornell he moved to Venezuela where his extensive field studies and collections of Araceae formed the basis for a treatment of the Araceae for the Flora of Venezuela. Toward this end he has published many new species for Venezuela and adjacent countries (Bunting, 1975, 1986, 1987, 1988a, 1989a) and a new genus (Bunting, 1988b, 1989b) for Venezuela and adjacent countries. Though the Araceae treatment for the Flora of Venezuela has not been finished, a major synopsis of the flora has been published (Bunting, 1979). It contains most of the species and taxonomic keys but no descriptions or illustrations. Bunting has also published a treatment of the Araceae for the flora of the Cerro Aracamuni in Venezuela (Bunting, 1989c) and the Flora oftbe Venezuelan Guayana (Bunting, 1995). Aside from his work with the flora of Venezuela, his principal interest for many years was a revision of the genus Pbilodendron. One of his major contributions has been with cultivated plants, a major emphasis in his earlier years. He contributed all the Araceae for Hortus Third (Bunting, 1976) and the Pbilodendron for the European Garden Flora (Bunting, 1984). Bunting has also described the genus Jasarum G. S. Bunting and many species, 195 in all, mostly from Venezuela. Graziela Maciel Barroso, working on Brazilian Araceae, made the description of Pbilodendron camposportoanum G. M. Barroso in her first publication (Barroso, 1956). This was followed by a series of papers describing other new species (Barroso, 1957, 1959, 1965, 1970). All but one, Antburium wendlingeri G. M. Barroso from Costa Rica, represented Brazilian species. Barroso published 15 species in all. Dan H. Nicolson, working at Cornell University, published extensively throughout the 1960s. His first publications on Araceae were a review of the classification of the Araceae (Nicolson, 1960a) and a paper describing the occurrence of trichosclereids in the Monsteroideae (Nicolson, 1960b). Several other papers, induding revisions of small groups, e.g. Gorgonidium Schott (Nicolson, 1963c); Filarum Nicolson (Nicolson, 1966); Xenopbya Schott (Nicolson, 1968a); Asian Spatbipbyl/um (Nicolson, 1968b, 1992a); and Amydrium Schott (Nicolson, 1968c) were published in part even before his Ph.D. thesis, a revision of the genus Aglaonema (Nicolson, 1967b, 1969). The work with Aglaonema involved extensive fieldwork in the Asian tropics which led to a continued interest in Asian floristic accounts including floristic accounts of the Araceae of the Hassan District in India (Nicolson, 1976a), Fiji (Nicolson, 1978, 1979), and Sri Lanka (Ceylon) (Nicolson, 1988). Nicolson (1984D also treated the Aglaonema for the European Garden Flora. With C. R. Suresh and K. S. Manilal in India he discussed H. A. van Rheede's Hortus Indicus Malabaricus [SW India] (Nicolson et al., 1988). His interest in fieldwork also resulted in papers on collecting Araceae (Nicolson, 1965, 1976b). Early in his career Nicolson became interested in the legal matters of nomencla-

16 THOMAS B. CROAT, ture (Nicolson, 1963b, 1964, 1967a, 1968d, 1975a, 1975b, 1977, 1981b, 1984b-d, 1987a; Nicolson & Bogner, 1977, 1981; Nicolson & Mayo, 1984b; Nicolson et al., 1984; Nicolson & Mayo, 1984a), an interest that continues to this day. He has spent much of his career dealing with nomenclature of Araceae and suprageneric systems of classifications (Bogner & Nicolson, 1991). Other work includes a survey of floral anatomy of Araceae carried out in conjunction with R. H. Eyde and P. Sherwin (Eyde et al., 1967). In a collaborative effort he published a revision of Typhonium with M. Sivadasan (Nicolson & Sivadasan, 1981) as well as one on the taxonomy of 1beriophonum (Sivadasan & Nicolson, 1982). One of his major accomplishments is his study of the complex publication history of Luis Sodiro (Nicolson, 1984a), who had the practice of publishing each new species several times. Until Nicolson's enlightening work, many of the earliest valid publications were overlooked. He also alphabetized and indexed Schott's Jeones Aroideae and Re/iquae (Nicolson, 1984e). Nicolson's translation of Engler's classification of the Araceae including the key to genera made understanding and ultimate revision of that system possible (Nicolson, 1982a). Nicolson is a member of the editorial board for both Taxon and Aroideana and has an interest in aroid literature (Nicolson; 1989, 1992b). His understanding of classical languages as well as German, the history of early aroid taxonomy (Nicolson, 1982a, 1987a), the rules of nomenclature, and his role as Senior Curator at the Smithsonian Institution where he has worked since he left Cornell make Nicolson the person to whom many of us turn for advice. His contributions to the Araceae are unique. Harald Riedl, working at the Naturhistorisches Museum in Schott's home town of Vienna, published his first paper on the Araceae in the Flora Iranica (Riedl, 1963). He is also a specialist on the genus Eminium (Blume) Schott (Riedl, 1969) and the flora of Middle Europe and the Middle East, and has published on Arum (Riedl, 1967), Arisaema and Stylochiton (Riedl, 1990) [the latter from Africa] as well as having written the Araceae treatment in Hegi's Illustrierte Flora von Mitteleuropa (Riedl, 1979) and the Araceae treatment in the Flora of Iraq (Riedl, 1985). Riedl is also an expert on the history of H. W. Schott and has published several papers dealing with Schott's work and collections (Riedl, 1965a, 1965b, 1965c, 1966, 1978; Riedl & Riedl-Dorn, 1988). He published several papers in the earliest issues of Aroideana, including a discussion of the aroids described in Russel's Natural History of Alepo in 1794 (Riedl, 1980a), a partial treatment of Biarum Schott (Riedl, 1980b), and a paper stressing the importance of ecology in defining genera (Riedl, 1980c). Another early worker was Mitsuru Hotta, working at the Kyoto University in Japan, who began publishing papers on Araceae in 1963 (Hotta, 1963a, 1963b). Some of his first papers dealt with Arisaema of Japan (Hotta, 1963a, 1963b, 1964, 1966a, 1970a-d) but he soon began working in more tropical parts of Asia, including Borneo, where he studied the Schismatoglottidinae (Hotta, 1965, 1966b, 1987) and made phytogeographic and floristic surveys (Hotta, 1966c, 1967). His work in Borneo resulted in the description of three new genera, Pedicel/arum M. Hotta, Phymatarum M. Hotta, and Heteroaridarum M. Hotta (Hotta, 1976). His work in Sumatra has resulted in floristic surveys (Hotta, 1984), another new genus, FurtadoaM. Hotta (Hotta, 1981), other miscellaneous new species (Hotta, 1985, 1993), a survey of Homalomena and Anadendrum Schott of Sumatra (Hotta, 1986a, 1986b), and a paper on taro uses (Hotta, 1962, 1983). Hotta (1982) also made detailed comparisons of the Homalomeninae and the Schismatoglottidinae in Malesia. One of Hotta's major accomplishments was a system of classification in which he proposed major first-time changes in the suprageneric system of classification of the Araceae (Hotta, 1970a). His system of classification is discussed in detail and is compared with other major systems (Croat, 1990). Another major publication (Hotta, 1971) provided a detailed discussion of

17 42 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 the relationship of the Araceae to other families and discusses the morphological, anatomical, and cytological characteristics of different aroid subfamilies. In recent years, Hotta has been involved (sometimes with Hiroshi Okada and Motomi Ito) in ecological studies with Araceae in West Sumatra (Okada, 1986; Hotta et al., 1985; Okada & Hotta, 1987). His skills in cytology, broad ranging ecological interests and astute observations have made Hotta's contributions to Southeast Asian studies of Araceae diverse, unique, and important. Hiroyoshi Ohashi, at the University of Tokyo and Tohoku University, began publishing on Japanese Arisaema in the early 1960s. Miscellaneous notes on Arisaema (Ohashi, 1963, 1964) were followed by a complete revision of the genus for Japan (Ohashi & J. Murata, 1980), and the Araceae treatment for the Wildflowers of Japan (Ohashi, 1982). Continuing the work of Hara on the Flora of Eastern Himalaya, Ohashi published a third report of that work which included additional Arisaema (Ohashi, 1975). Ohashi also compiled a list of types of Arisaema in Japanese herbaria (Ohashi, 1981a, 1981b) and studied pollen morphology of Japanese Arisaema (Ohashi et al., 1983). A European specialist in Arum, Cecil T. Prime, was also active during the 1960s. His major work on the biology of Arum maculatum L., Lords and Ladies (Prime, 1960), is one of the most detailed and interesting books ever written on the biology of an aroid. Prime also contributed the Arum section for the Flora Europaea (Amaral Franco et al., 1980). Although the taxonomists noted above were the main players within Araceae research, several post-englerian non-specialists made Significant or unique studies in specific areas of aroid research. Three individuals working with Zantedeschia are worthy of mention. Hamilton Traub produced a single work on Zantedeschia that has been one of the most useful ever done for that genus (Traub, 1949). The second work, published in the same year was written by L. Mirzwick (Mirzwick, 1949). Most recently, Cynthia Letty (1973) also published a revision on Zantedeschia. Another work carried out by non-specialists was a minor revision of Arisaema by Walter Robyns and R. Tournay (Robyns & Tournay, 1955). This work treated five species of Arisaema from tropical Africa. Another useful work on Arisaema deals with the plants of the Himalayas (Pradhan, 1986, 1990). With the advent of Bunting and Nicolson, interest in Araceae accelerated with several new workers, including: Josef Bogner, Tom Croat, Dorothy Shaw, Jorge Crisci, Mike Madison, Li Heng, Marija Bedalov, Richard Sheffer, Simon Mayo, and Jin Murata beginning their publishing careers with Araceae, in the late 1960s and 1970s. Probably no one in the history of work with the family has had a greater focus on research with Araceae than Josef Bogner. His unprecedented interest in the family is so universal that it is difficult to define. Beginning with a paper dealing with Tberiophonum (Bogner, 1968), Bogner has been involved with the Araceae in nearly all parts of the world, including a major study of the Araceae of Madagascar, the Comoros Islands, and with the Arophyteae (Bogne~ 1972a, 1972b, 1973a, 1973b, 1975), as well as the Seychelles with Protarum (Bogner, 1973a, 1973e); and in Africa with Amorphophallus (Barthlott & Bogner, 1981; Bogner & Hetterscheid, 1992); Andromycia A. Rich. (Bogner, 1969b); Cal/opsis Engl. (Bogner, 1969a [= Nephthytis hallaei (Bogner) Bogner, see Bogner, 1980b]); Cercestis (Bogner & Knecht, 1994); Culcasia (Bogner, 1980a); Gonatopus (Obermeyer & Bogner, 1979); Nephthytis (Bogner, 1980b; de Namur & Bogner, 1994); Pseudohydrosme Engl. (Bogner, 1981a); Stylochiton (Bogner, 19840; in Asia with A morpho phallus (Bogne~ 1976d, 1981a, 1981b, 1989a, 1995; Bogner et al., 1985; Bogner & Hetterscheid, 1992); Aridarum Ridl. (Bogner, 1979, 1981c, 1983a); Cryptocoryne (Bogner, 1974, 1984a, 1984b, 1984c, 1984i, 1985a, 1989c; Bogner & Jacobsen, 1985, 1986; Ehrenberg & Bogner, 1992); Pycnospatha Thorel ex Gagnep. (Bogner, 1973b); Lagenandra (Bogner, 1974, 1978;

18 THOMAS B. CROAT, Bogner & Jacobsen, 1987); Homalomena (Bogner, 1976a); Thomsonia Wall. (Bogner, 1976b); Bucepbalandra Schott (1980c, 1984g); Plesmonium Schott (Bogner, 1980d), Hottarum Bogner & Nicolson (Bogner, 1983b, 1984g; Bogner & Hotta, 1983a); Scbismatoglottis (Bogner & Hotta, 1983b; Bogner, 1988); Hapaline and Phymatarum (Bogner, 1984e); Scindapsus Schott (Bogner & Boyce, 1994); and Typhonium (Bogner, 1987a), as well as in the Americas with Xanthosoma Schott (Bogner, 1986a); Mangonia Schott (Bogner, 1973d); Scaphispatha Brongn. ex Schott (Bogner, 1980e); jasarum (Bogner, 1977, 1984d, 1985d), Dracontium (Bogner, 1981d), Caladium Vent. (Bogner, 1980f, 1984h); Chlorospatha Engl. (Bogner, 1985b, 1985e); Homalomena (Bogner & Moffler, 1985a, 1985b); Taccarum Brongn. ex Schott (1989b); Philodendron (Bogner & Bunting, 1983); and Gorgonidium (Bogner & Nicolson, 1988) and in Turkey with Biarum (Bogner & Boyce, 1989). With James French he described the tribe Anadendreae (Bogner & French, 1984). His most recent paper described species from both the Old and New World [Spathantheum intermedium, Asterostigma cryptostylum, Zomicarpella amazonica, Ulearum sagittatum var. viridispadix and Nephthytis ajzelii var. graboensis]. He has described a total of 54 new species. Bogner, because of his broad interests and deep understanding of all matters regarding Araceae, has long been principally interested at the subfamilial and tribal levels. He has been responsible for a rethink-. ing of the system of classification of the Araceae beginning with his "critical list" of aroid genera (Bogner, 1978), the reduction of genera (Bogner, 1985c), new name and combinations (Bogner, 1986b), the placement of jasarum (Bogner, 1980e), and his revised classification of the family (Bogner & Nicolson, 1991). A recent paper (Mayo et al., in prep.) defining the relationship of the Araceae to other closely related families reflects his deep understanding of the family. He is a coauthor of a new book that will describe and illustrate all the genera of Araceae. This work, The Genera oj the Araceae, is a good addition to aroid research (Mayo, Bogner & Boyce, 1997). Another summary paper by Bogner deals with the wide variation in morphology of Araceae (Bogner, 1987b), and another is on new taxa of Araceae (Bogner, 1997b). Bogner is also one of the few aroid researchers who has dealt with fossil Araceae (Bogner, 1976c; Gregor & Bogner, 1984, 1989). He is a member of the team doing the Flora Malesiana and is a coauthor of a checklist and bibliography of the region (Hay et al., 1995a, 1995b) and has written about a collecting trip to Sarawak (Bogner & Boyce, 1995). Last but not least are Bogner's capabilities as a grower, where few are his equal. His collection of living aroid genera, housed at the Munich Botanical Garden, is unparalleled. His many field trips to three continents where he successfully sleuths yet another poorly known genus or species are largely financed with his personal funds and his accumulated vacation time. This largely unrewarded effort on the part of Josef Bogner is one of the greatest contributions ever to the field of aroid research. One of the few South American botanists who played a role in research with Araceae is Jorge Crisci from the Museo de la Plata in La Plata, Argentina. His first paper dealing with Araceae was a treatment of the Araceae for the Flora of Buenos Aires Province (Crisci, 1968a). He then described new additions to the flora (Crisci, 1968b; Crisci et al., 1991) or new species (Crisci, 1970). Most of his work involves floristic accounts of Argentina (Crisci, 1971; Crisci & Katinas, in press). Finally, he wrote a systematic and ethnobotanical study of Philodendron bipinnatifidum (Schott) Schott (Crisci & Gancedo, 1971). Tom Croat, of the Missouri Botanical Garden, became interested in the Araceae in 1967 when, in conjunction with his work on the Flora of Barro Colorado Island (Croat, 1978a), he found the family to be the most difficult in the flora. Perplexed by the immense variation in species and the confusion of juvenile, preadult, and adult forms, he collected elsewhere in

19 44 Panama where the wet forests were much richer and replete with undescribed species. Plants were collected and grown at Summit Gardens in the Canal Area, near where he lived, and later were transported to the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis. His earliest paper on Araceae described a Dracontium from Barro Colorado Island (Croat, 1975a), followed later that year by a discussion of the Anthurium gracile (Rudge) Schott-A. friedrichsthalii Schott complex of Central and South America (Croat, 1975b). Croat's earliest interest was involved with the Araceae of Panama, the richest part of Central America (Croat, 1985a), and this led to floristic work with Anthurium in Central America sponsored by the National Geographic Society (Croat, 1977). This was followed by descriptions of new species of Anthurium (Croat, 1978c, 1979a, 1981a, 1983a), a concern for the standardization of species descriptions of Anthurium (Croat & Bunting, 1979), a revision of Central American Anthurium sect. Polyphyllium Engl. (Croat & Baker, 1978), a treatment of Anthurium for Costa Rica (Croat & Baker, 1979), a revision of the Araceae of the La Selva Reserve in Costa Rica (Croat & Grayum, in prep.), a study of the flowering behavior of Anthurium (Croat, 1980), a study of the sectional classification of Anthurium (Croat & Scheffer, 1983), and a review and analysis of chromosome information for Anthurium (Sheffer & Croat, 1983b). Additional publications during this time were a revision of Syngonium (Croat, 1981b) and a review of the distribution of Araceae worldwide (Croat, 1979b). A National Science Foundation supported revision of Anthurium of Central America began in 1977 (Croat, 1983a, 1986a, 1986b) and was followed, between 1980 and 1986, by a revision of Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium Schott for the neotropics (Croat, 1991a). The resulting field work in South America brought other involvements including papers on the Araceae of Venezuela (Croat & Lambert, 1987), a treatment of the Araceae for the Flora de Paraguay (Croat & Mount, 1988), a check- AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 list for the Flora of the Guianas (Croat, 1992c, 1997a), the treatment for the Flora of Central French Guiana (Croat, 1997c) and for the flora of Nicaragua (Croat & Stiebel, in press), the checklist for the flora of Peru (Croat, 1993), and for Ecuador (Croat, in prep.) as well as more specific floristic studies of Colombia and Ecuador. In Colombia, a National Geographic grant sponsored study involved a comparative study of lowland pluvial forest-wet forest transition at Bajo Calima (Valle) and an upland premontane wet forest at La Planada (Narino) (Croat, 1992). This in turn has led to student involvement and (as yet unpublished) treatments of the aroid floras of both areas, for La Planada with Jeff Lake (Croat & Lake, in prep.) and for Bajo Calima with Dorothy Bay (Croat & Bay, in prep.). Similar floristic studies in Ecuador resulted in a comparison of six biological reserves in Ecuador (Croat, 1995b) and a study of Anthurium in the Reserva EN DESA (Croat & Rodriguez, 1995). Other efforts dealing with Araceae include review papers on the use of neotropical Araceae as medicinal plants (Croat, 1994a), the locality of neotropical aroid collections (Croat, 1988a), the ecology and life forms of Araceae (Croat, 1988b, 1989), and a comparative survey of three modern systems of suprageneric systems of classification (Croat, 1990). Smaller revisionary studies include the Anthurium bredemeyeri Schott complex in Venezuela (Croat, 1985e), a treatment of the Araceae entitled In Gardens of Hawaii (Croat, in press), a treatment of Syngonium (Croat, 1984a) and Alocasia for the European Garden Flora (Croat et al., 1984). Miscellaneous papers dealing with Araceae include historical briefs on aroid specialists including Matuda (Croat, 1978b) and Engler (Croat, 1983c), as well as reports on aroid conferences (Croat, 1985f, 1992b, 1994b), discussions of collecting and preparation procedures for Araceae (Croat, 1985b, 1969), special drying facilities needed for Araceae collections (Croat, 1979d), labeling living collections (Croat, 1984d), germination of seeds (Croat, 1979c), and propagation of cuttings (Croat,

20 THOMAS B. CROAT, c). Other miscellaneous papers deal with a discussion of Anthurium andraeanum Linden (Sheffer et al., 1980), A. leuconeurum Lem. (Croat, 1983d), the description of new South American species Croat (Croat, 1987; [Peru] in press), reports on living collections of Araceae (Croat, 1979d, 1988c) or of field trips (Croat, 1982a, 1982b, 1991b), reports on rare (Croat, 1983b, 1984b, 1985c, 1995a) or poorly known species (Croat, in prep.), new combinations (Croat & Grayum, 1987, 1994), and illustrative profiles of aroids, including Philodendron rugosum Bogner & G. S. Bunting (Croat, 1984c), Taccarum weddellianum Brongn. ex Schott (Croat, 1985d), and Syngonium steyermarkii Croat (Croat & Bogner, 1987). With Kay Rossmann, he produced an index for the first ten volumes of Aroideana (Croat & Rossmann, 1991). Other recent NSF sponsored projects have been completed or are being carried out, including a revision of Philodendron subg. Philodendron of Central America (Croat, 1997b), a revision of Rhodospatha (Croat, in prep.), and a revision of Dieffenbachia of Central America (Croat, in prep.). In addition Anthurium sect. Semaeophyllium is being revised with the help of R. 1. Mansell at the University of South Florida (Croat & Mansell, in prep.) and Anthurium sect. Calomystrium Ser. Rupico/a ser. nov. is being revised with the assistance of Jane Whitehill (Croat & Whitehill, in prep). These five as yet unpublished revisions will result in a total of 96, 67, 30, 22 and 8 species respectively with a total of 139 taxa (65, 52, 22, 6 and 3 species respectively) new to science. Additional new, as yet unpublished taxa have resulted from floristic studies. For example, 20 of the 50 species for Reserva La Planada in Colombia are believed to be new; 84 of 150 for the Flora of La Planada (Narino); and 11 of the 31 taxa at the Reserva ENDESA in Ecuador. To this date, Croat has published 352 taxa. The resources which have been built up for aroid research at the Missouri Botanical Garden include one of the largest living collections of aroids and the largest collection of her- barium specimens of neotropical aroids. The living and dried collections include a large percentage of Croat's more than 80,000 personal collections. Dorothy Shaw has published a series of mostly technical, experimental or ecological papers concerning the Araceae of Australia and Papua New Guinea. These include observations on the behavior of Colocasia esculenta (1.) Schott & End!. (Shaw, 1975, 1982; Shaw et al., 1979) pollination in Alocasia rnacrorrhizos (1.) G. Don [A. brisbanensis] (Shaw et al., 1982; Shaw & Cantrell, 1983a, 1983b), fruit dispersal in Alocasia macrorrhizos (Shaw et al., 1985), stomata of Monstera deliciosa Liebm. (Shaw, 1992c), aroids of botanical gardens in Brisbane (Shaw, 1987), germination of Typhonodorum Schott seeds in cultivation (Shaw, 1990), the occurrance of the fungus Puccinia on Monstera (Shaw, 1991, 1992a, 1992b, 1993a, 1994, 1995a, 1995b) and postage stamps that exhibit plants of the family (Shaw, 1993). With R. Greber she reported on the dasheen mosaic virus in Queensland (Greber & Shaw, 1986). S. Serizawa published on Japanese Arisaema during the late 1970s and mid- 1980s (Serizawa, 1975, 1980a, 1980b, 1981a, 1981b, 1982, 1982a, 1986). These works, published only in Japanese, meant that he was not widely recognized internationally. A brief research effort was made by Richard Baker at the Field Museum in Chicago. His efforts, before embarking on a new career in the early 1980s, were entirely in Costa Rica. With W. C. Burger, in charge of the Flora Costaricensis project at the Field Museum, Baker revised Spathiphyllum for Costa Rica (Baker & Burger, 1976). A few years later he collaborated with Tom Croat in the revision of Anthurium for Costa Rica (Croat & Baker, 1979). Mike Madison played an important role in the late 1970s and early 1980s before changing careers. He began with a flourish, publishing five papers the first year; two (Madison, 1976b, 1976c), dealing with new species (Rhodospatha and Asterostigrna F. E. 1. Fischer & C. A. Mey. respectively), another comparing Alloschemone

21 46 Schott and Scindapsus (Madison, 1976a), and another comparing Caladium and Xanthosoma (Madison, 1976d), and finally a paper dealing with the seeds of Monstereae (Madison & Tiffney, 1976). His ph.d. thesis, a revision of Monstera, was published the following year (Madison, 1977a). Though Madison did make an expedition to Brazil (Madison, 1979a), his principal field work was in Ecuador where he collected widely, describing species in Caladium (Madison, 1981a), Philodendron (Madison, 1977b), Stenospermation (Madison, 1977c), and Xanthosoma (Madison, 1978e). In addition, he described a plant from Brazil as a new Ulearum (Madison, 1980). This later proved to be the new genus Bognera. Aside from his revision of Monstera, other major papers included a revision of the palmately-lobed Anthurium species (Madison, 1978g), a major paper discussing the ecology of the genera of Araceae of the northern Andes (Madison, 1978D, and a partial revision of the Caladieae (Madison, 1981a). Madison published many miscellaneous short papers, especially while he was editor of Aroideana. These include reports on nomenclature (Madison, 1978a, 1978d), plant culture (Madison, 1978h), the living collections at Selby (Madison, 19780, packing and shipping aroids (Madison, 1981b), Monstera seeds and the fossil record (Madison & Tiffney, 1976), the rediscovery of Philodendron frits-wentii G. S. Bunting (Madison, 1978b), and a synopsis of Caladiopsis (Madison, 1978j). Another includes the protection of developing seeds in Araceae (Madison, 1979b). He also wrote illustrative profiles of Monstera deliciosa (Madison, 1978c), Xenopha [= AIocasia] lauterbachiana (Eng!.) Nicolson (Madison, 1979c), Anthurium lilacinum Dressler (Madison, 1979d), A. punctatum N. E. Br. (Madison, 1979D, and A. superbum Madison (Madison, 197ge). One of Madison's major accomplishments was the founding of the journal Aroideana with the International Aroid Society [see discussion below] in Madison began publishing the journal and was its editor for several years when he AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 changed careers. Many of his earlier papers were written specifically for the journal. Madison was also responsible for organizing the first International Aroid Conference at Selby Gardens in Sarasota, Florida on March 28-29, These conferences have been continued, albeit, irregularly, and they have contributed greatly to the dissemination of knowledge about aroids. With the completion of the conference in Kunming, China in June 1995, six such conferences have been held, two of them in conjunction with the International Botanical Congresses. Aroid research was dealt a severe blow with Madison's retirement. This brilliant Harvard-trained researcher left a significant mark in his five short years of work with Araceae. Wim Crusio, one of H. C. D. de Wit's students, completed a revision of the genus Anubias Schott, and this excellent work was published twice, once in English (Crusio, 1979a) and once in German (Crusio, 1987). Another description of the genus and a discussion of its taxonomy also appeared in German (Crusio, 1980). Crusio has also published short papers on Cryptocoryne (Crusio, 1979b, 1979c). Along with Arie de Graaf he describes a new species of Lagenandra, L. dewitii Crusio & A. de Graaf (Crusio & de Graaf, 1986) and in another redescribes L. ovata Thwaites (Crusio & de Graaf, 1987). Taking up where de Wit left off, Niels Jacobsen, from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Denmark, did additional work on Cryptocoryne, including extensive field work in southeast Asia. In a series of general papers he described the biology and ecology of Cryptocoryne. His first paper dealing with Araceae is about the ecology of Cryptocoryne(Jacobsen, 1976) while others deal with its pollination (Jacobsen, 1977a), chromosomes (Jacobsen, 1977b, 1977c; Arends et al., 1982), and flowering behavior (Jacobsen, 1980a), vegetative morphology (Jacobsen et al., 1989a-c) as well as with the description of new species (Jacobsen, 1977d, 1979a, 1980b, 1980e, 1981a, 1982, 1985a), a discussion of C. undulata Wendt (Jacob-

22 THOMAS B. CROAT, sen, 1981b), C.jerruginea Eng!. (Jacobsen, 1980d), and a revision of the Cryptocoryne albida R. Parker complex (Jacobsen, 1980c). A 1991 paper (Jacobsen, 1991) treated the small-leaved Cryptocoryne species. In a series of papers with Josef Bogner, he revised the Cryptocoryne of the Malay Peninsula (Jacobsen & Bogner, 1986, 1987a, 1987b, 1987c) then published a complete revision for Borneo (Jacobsen, 1982, 1984, 1985b) and later for Ceylon (Jacobsen, 1988) and Tasek Bera (Jacobsen, 1986). These publications were precursors to his full revision of the genus. The complete revision of Cryptocoryne was published in two versions, one in Danish (Jacobsen, 1979b) and one in German (Jacobsen, 1979c). He will contribute Cryptocoryne for the Flora Malesiana and is a coauthor of a checklist and bibliography for the region CHay et al., 1995a, 1995b). Finally, Jacobsen published the treatment of the Arales in R. M. J. Dahlgren, H. J. Clifford & P. F. Yeo's, The Families oj Monocotyledons: Structure, Evolution and Taxonomy (Jacobsen, 1985c). Li Heng, working for the Chinese Academy of Sciences at the Kunming Institute of Botany and doing research on Chinese Araceae even before China's opening to the West, has become the authority on the family in China. Her earliest publication deals with the medicinal value of certain Arisaema CLi, 1976) and another, CLi et al., 1977) "Claves diagnosticae et taxa nova Aracearum Sinicarum," provides a key to the genera of Araceae of China and describes 30 new taxa. Her principle interest is in Arisaema, induding its phytogeography CLi, 1980a, 1980b, 1981) and taxonomy, describing many new species (Li, 1985, 1988a, 1992a) as well as Amorphophallus (Li, 1988b, 1988c, 1988d; Li et al., 1989, 1990; Li & Long, 1989; Long et al., 1989), Typhonium (Li & Zhenquian, 1983), Remusatia Schott CLi, 1987a, 1991, 1992b; Li & Hay, 1992b; Long et al., 1989b), Rhaphidophora (Li, 1992b), Gonatanthus [later reduced to Remusatial (Li, 1987b; Li & Hay, 1992b), and Colocasia (Li & Wei, 1993). Her papers frequently deal with cytological details of the species described (Gu et ai., 1992; Li et al., 1989). Still others deal with floristics such as that of the Dulongjian Region (Li, 1993b), Xizang area (Li, 1987c), or plants of medicinal value (Li, 1988). A paper dealing with the phytogeography of the Araceae CLi, 1986), divides the family into 12 distribution patterns and 29 subpatterns; another deals with the origin and phylogeny of Araceae CLi, 1983). Li presented a paper at the XVI International Botanical Congress in Yokohama dealing with the species diversity of Chinese Araceae CLi, 1993a). Perhaps her major accomplishment is the treatment of the Araceae of China written with C. Y. Wu (Li, 1979a, 1979b) that deals with 34 genera and 191 native species. The largest aroid genus in China, Arisaema, is reported with 82 species. Li Heng is also chiefly responsible for the treatment of the Araceae in the "Iconographia cormophytorum sinicorum" (Anonymous, 1976) published by an editorial committee of that publication. This work treats 26 genera and 51 species, all illustrated with line drawings. Li is currently working on the English version of the Flora of China. Also in China in the same year, Kao Pao Chung [Gao Baochuml, working with the Academica Sinica in Chengdu, Sichuan, did a revision of the Araceae for the Flora Sichuanica CKao, 1989a) and described new species of Araceae (Kao, 1989b). That flora, not as tropical as Yunnan, treated 13 native genera and 62 native species. Simon Mayo of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is today one of the foremost aroid researchers. His first paper dealing with Araceae was a report on his early field work in Brazil (Mayo, 1978a), making it one of the first contributions in the new journal Aroideana. His next two papers CMayo, 1978b; Mayo & Barroso, 1979) dealt with Brazilian species, and his interest in Brazilian Araceae continues to this day (Mayo, 1983a, 1986e, 1987c, 1988b, 1989b, 1995; Mayo & Barbosa, 1996; Mayo & Fevereiro, 1982; Mayo & Zappi, 1993; Fevereiro & Mayo, 1982; Mayo et al., 1995; Sampaio et al., 1996). Mayo has in recent years lived and worked in Brazil where he has taught and organized the research of

23 48 several Brazilian students who were interested in Araceae (Mayo & Naclruz, 1992; Ramalho, 1995; Sakuragui, 1994; Nadruz, 1995; Andrade, 1996; Soares, 1996). Together with Brazilian colleagues, he has prepared a checklist for all of Brazil (Mayo et al., in prep.) and has been especially interested in the Atlantic coastal regions (Mayo, 1990b). He has published papers on the phytogeography (Mayo, 1984b) and taxonomy of Bahra (Harley & Mayo, 1980; Mayo, 1984b) and has recently prepared a revision of the Araceae of Bahra (Mayo, manuscript). On a broader topic Mayo discussed aroid phytogeography in Africa and South America (Mayo, 1993). Other Mayo papers dealing with New World aroid species are those describing a new Caladium (Mayo & Bogner, 1988) and rediscovering Gearum N. E. Br. (Mayo et al., 1994). Among Mayo's earliest efforts were his work with the flora of Trinidad (Mayo, 1981, 1986a) and with taxonomic problems in the West Indies, such as a resolution of the poorly understood Anthurium acaule (Jacq.) Schott and its relationship to the A. sect. Pachyneurium (Mayo, 1982a). Mayo has also been heavily involved with African Araceae, and he has produced the treatment of the Araceae for the Flora of the Mascarene Islands (Mayo, 1983b, 1984c) and the Flora of Tropical East Africa (Mayo, 1985a). This in turn has led to considerable involvement with the taxonomy of African Amorphophallus (Mayo et al., 1982; Bogner et ai., 1985), Araceae in the Flora of Cyprus 2 (Mayo & Meikle, 1985), and Arisaema (Mayo, 1982b, 1984a, 1985b, 1986b, 1987a, 1987b; Mayo & Gilbert, 1986). A short paper deals with Biarum (Mayo, 1980a) while others focus on aroids at Kew (Mayo, 1979) and an aroid symposium at Selby Gardens (Mayo, 1980b). Still another paper discusses the presence of anthocyanins and flavonoids in the Araceae (Williams et al., 1981). Mayo's participation in a special volume of Curtts~ Botanical Magazine resulted in articles dealing with the "Genera of Araceae" project (Mayo et al., 1995a, 1995b, 1995e), and Roberto Burle Marx AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 (Mayo, 1978c, 1982c, 1982d; Mayo et al., 1995c). He has also reviewed various books on Araceae (Mayo, 1980d, 1982d, 1983c, 1986c, 1991b). For his Ph.D. work Mayo chose to do a revision of Philodendron subg. Meconostigma (Schott) Engl. (Mayo, 1986d) but his work went well beyond Meconostigma, leading him to conduct research in various aspects of the whole Philodendroideae. In a series of papers he discusses the evolution (Mayo, 1988a), the gynoecial structure (Mayo, 1989a) and the taxonomy of P. subg. Meconostigma (Mayo, 1991a), and the history and infrageneric nomenclature of Philodendron (Mayo, 1990). He was the first to formally recognize tribe Pteromischum as a subgenus. Mayo has subsequently put all of his information on this group and other genera together in a massive computer-driven cladistic study to reappraise the suprageneric classification of the Araceae. This system is presented in the new book Genera of the Araceae (Mayo et al., 1997). Using the same cladistic information, the authors (including J. Bogner & P. Boyce) present the case for the inclusion of the Lemnaceae into the Araceae as a subclade of a monophyletic Araceae (Mayo et al., 1995). They have also completed a treatment of the Araceae in K. Kubitzki's The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants (Mayo et al., in press), and done an article on the acolytes of the Araceae (Mayo et al., 1995d). Simon Mayo's decision in 1973 to leave the Horticulture Department at Kew Gardens and to become involved with the taxonomy of the Araceae was an important event for research with the Araceae. His research, especially his broad general studies in the evolution of the Philodendroideae and his cladistic studies which have reclassified the genera of Araceae, are on the cutting edge. Two Brazilian botanists, E. 1. M. Catharino and A. A. R. Olaio (Sao Paulo) have published jointly, describing a new species of Anthurium (Catharino & Olaio, 1990) and in the preparation of the Araceae treatment for Cardoza Island in the Atlantic

24 THOMAS B. CROAT, Ocean off the coast of Sao Paulo State (Olaio & Catharino, 1991). Richard Sheffer did important breeding studies and cytological work with Anthurium during his Ph.D dissertation (Sheffer, 1974, 1977) at the University of Hawaii and later at Indiana University Northwest. The work was carried out in part with his major professor, cytologist and Anthurium breeder H. Kamemoto (Sheffer & Kamemoto, 1976a, 1978; Sheffer et al., 1980). Sheffer published a review of chromosome numbers for Anthurium (Sheffer & Kamemoto, 1976b; Sheffer & Croat, 1983), and he conducted a cytotaxonomic study of the Anthurium scandens complex (Sheffer et al., 1980). Another major accomplishment was breeding studies carried out with Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium (Croat, 1991a) [see also Kamemoto above]. Sheffer has a new greenhouse facility filled with Araceae which he uses in his cytological research. Another important plant breeder dealing primarily with Araceae is R. J. (Jake) Henny from the Central Florida Research and Education Center, University of Florida in Apopka. His work has been largely experimental involving culture techniques of Aglaonema, Anthurium, Dieffen bach ia, and Spathiphyllum (Henny, 1980a, 1989a, 1989b; Henny & Fooshee, 1990a, 1990b; Henny et at. 1980a, 1994, 1995), the use of growth regulators to induce flowering (Henny, 1980b, 1981, 1983a, 1983c, 1988c, 1989b, 1991, 1992; Henny & Fooshee, 1983, 1989b, 1990b, 1990c, 1991; Henny & Rasmussen, 1980b), breeding (Henny, 1982a-c, 1983b, 1984, 1988a, 1989a; Henny & Rasmussen, 1980a, 1980c, 1980d), and aroid introductions (Henny, 1988b, 1995a, 1995b; Henny et at., 1987a, 1987b). Ann Chase, also from the C.F.R.E.C.-Apopka, works on aroid research and has published results on various cultural aspects (Chase, 1989; Chase & Henny, 1990; Chase & Poole, 1991) as have C. A. Conover (Conover & Henny, 1995), R. W. Henley (Henley, 1992), and D. Norman (Norman, 1996). Marija Bedalov, working at the University of Zagreb in Croatia, has worked on all aspects of Arum, especially cytology, phytogeography and palynology (Bedalov, 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975a, 1975b, 1975c, 1976a, 1976b, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1981a, 1981b, 1983a, 1984, 1985). She has also dealt with the cytology and phytogeography of Calla and Acorus 1. (Bedalov, 1983b). Her work has largely been concentrated in the Balkan region, especially in the former Yugoslavia. A participant in the first International Aroid Conference as well as third, fourth and sixth, she is an active and productive researcher. In addition to her work in Zagreb, she carries out independent investigations with a colleague in Switzerland. Jin Murata, an expert on Asian Arisaema, published his first paper on Arisaema late in the decade (J. Murata, 1978). Several other papers describing new species followed (J. Murata, 1956, 1983a, 1985a; J. Murata & Ohashi, 1980; J. Murata & Ohno, 1989; J. Murata et al., 1994), one on a new combination in Typhonium (J. Murata & Mayo, 1991) and another describing the first leaves of a species (J. Murata, 1986a). In a recent paper in Aroideana, Murata provides keys, photos, and a discussion of the Japanese species of Arisaema (J. Murata, 1990a). Other papers include information on chromosomes of Arisaema (J. Murata, 1983b, 1990b; J. Murata & Iijima, 1983), a study of the stem morphology (J. Murata, 1988), a study of shoot organization recognizing four types of stems (J. Murata, 1990c), a study of developmental pattern of pedate leaves (J. Murata, 1990d) and allozyme differentiation in Arisaema (J. Murata & Kawahara, 1994a-c). Two papers deal with attempts of infrageneric classification (J. Murata, 1984, and others deal with revisions of minor groups or species complexes of Arisaema (J. Murata, 1962, 1985b, 1986b, 1986c, 1990d, 1990g, 1991, 1995; J. Murata & Ohno, 1991). Murata also wrote a memoriam for Hiroshi Hara (J. Murata, 1987). Among Murata's major publications are a complete revision of Arisaema in Japan (Ohashi & J. Murata, 1980), complete with keys and illustrations [see Ohashi above] and a proposed infrageneric classification

25 50 of Arisaema (J. Murata, 1984). Murata also participated in the research of his student, Duangchai Sriboonma in a molecular study of the genus Typbonium (Sriboonrna et al., 1993) and a revision of the genus (Sriboonma et al., 1994). Murata is a member of the team of taxonomists working on the Araceae treatment for the Flora Malesiana and is a coauthor of a checklist and bibliography for this region (Hay et al., 1995, 1995a). He organized the VI International Aroid Conference as a part of the XVI International Botanical Congress in Yokohama in Another Japanese botanist, sometimes publishing with Hotta, is H. Okada. His work has been largely experimental and behavioral, including cytotaxonomical studies of populations of Araceae in West Sumatra (Okada, 1984, 1986), studies of population dynamics of Scbismatoglottis in Sumatra (Okada, 1989; Okada & Hotta, 1987) as well as on chromosome behavior in Colocasia (Okada & Hambali, 1989) and Scbismatoglottis (Okada, 1992a). Two other papers discuss cytotaxonomic studies of rheophytic aroids (Okada, 1992b, 1993). Working in Hungary on Arum, A. Terpo has made studies on the distribution and taxonomy of Arum species (Terpo, 1971, 1973) in Pannonian territories (now mostly Hungary and Yugoslavia). Toward the end of the 1970s, P. Blanc in France carried out important studies on the growth behavior of the Araceae. These studies (Blanc, 1977a, 1977b, 1978, 1980) were a precurser to the more extensive growth behavior studies carried out by Tom Ray (see below). As mentioned earlier, the late 1970s also saw the creation of the International Aroid SOciety, known initially as the American Aroid Society. This organization, founded in Miami, Florida on June 18, 1977, was started through the inspiration of Bette Waterbury, Allen Fernandez, John Faust, Shirley Crete, Marilyn Turner, Peggy Fischer (all constituting the first officers with Waterbury as president), Tom Fennell, Monroe Birdsey, Ron Weeks, De Hull, Gary Antosh, Joan Hackler, and others. In the words of Michael Madison, in the lead- AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 ing article of Aroideana, the International Aroid Society was intended to "promote the study of the aroid family in all of its aspects." Madison started publishing the society's journal, naming it Aroideana at the suggestion of Dan Nicolson. The society and certainly the journal have had their share of difficulties, mostly the result of a volunteer-driven and sometimes inadequately prepared staff, but also because of editors who gave up, and even one (Mark Moffler) who died suddenly, along with the many difficulties in finding the right publisher. The journal has by all accounts been immensely valuable in dealing with Araceae. Many of the papers published throughout the years Simply would not have been written at all had it not been for the need to "feed the presses. " Major contributors in the first few years were Madison himself, Simon Mayo, Josef Bogner, Tom Croat, and Harald Riedl. Other aroid researchers who contributed were George Bunting, Niels Jacobsen, Tom Ray, Dan Nicolson, Alistair Hay, Peter Boyce, M. Sivadasan, Richard Sheffer, Dorothy Shaw, Mike Grayum, Richard Henny, H. Kamemoto, Marianne Knecht, Farah Ghani, Larry Klotz, and Mark Moffler. From the onset, the journal has encouraged and received articles from horticulturists and plant collectors since the aroid society is primarily supported by plant lovers of all kinds. Many of them have contributed greatly, such as Bette Waterbury, John Banta, Frank Brown, an expert on the genus Aglaonema (Brown, 1980, 1982, 1984), Fred Dortort, Amy Donovan, Lawrence Gamer, dealing with hybridizing AIocasia (Gamer, 1983), James Watson, Luis Bueno, Julius Boos, David Leedy, Linda Theus, David Prudhomme, John Johnston, Joe Wright, Mike Bush, William Drysdale, Marcel Lecoufle, Stu Cramer, and Arnold Melim. Naturalist Julius Boos, a recent contributer, is particularly knowledgeable about the aroids of Trinidad and some members of the Lasioideae, especially Urospatba (Boos, 1993; Boos & Boos, 1993). Fanny Phillips made an important contribution to the understanding of

26 THOMAS B. CROAT, 1998 Amorpbopballus (Phillips, 1988). Libby Besse wrote a paper on the native south Florida aroids (Besse, 1980). She has also played an important role in the development of Selby Gardens and has sponsored and participated in several important expeditions to Ecuador with Mike Madison and others at Selby Gardens. These expeditions were among the most productive, ever, in the procurement of living Araceae and her assistance is to be commended. David Burnett made a major contribution where he contributed an unpublished table of contents to earlier Aroideana volumes that was useful in preparing the published indices (Croat & Rossman, 1991; Donovan & Malesevich, 1994), and he published an illustrated introduction to the cultivated Aiocasia (Burnett, 1984). Since there is no modem revision of this genus, the work by Burnett has been immensely useful. Another paper discusses a proposal for hybrid and cultivar names (Burnett, 1982). In addressing the success of the journal and the International Aroid Society itself, both of which have been instrumental in promoting activity with Araceae, a major tribute must go to a small band of enthusiasts in Miami who have provided the impetus to keep things running. The faces have changed over the years although many devoted members are worthy of mention, only a few can be mentioned here. Foremost is the late Bette Waterbury, founder and first president (who also served subsequent terms) and president emeritus, who did so much to keep the society alive. Other productive members such as Linda Theus, Allen Fernandez, and Maree Winter are no longer with us. Special thanks must go to people like Amy Donovan, present editor of the journal and one of the most dedicated society members; Dewey Fisk who served as board member, President, Corresponding Secretary, journal editor, plant sale promotor and auctioneer; David Burnett, who served as a board member, recruited many Australian members and ran Australian membership affairs; David Leedy who served as newsletter editor; Bruce Mc- Manus who served as newsletter editor, membership chairman and especially as Show Chairman for the annual meeting and show; Denis Rotalante, Ron Weeks and others who could always be counted on to bring big plants for the Annual Show and Sale; Tricia Frank, Susan Staiger, Jerry Bengis, Donna Rich, and many others who have served as officers or who were heavily involved in the work of putting together the Annual Meeting and Show are all to be commended for their efforts. Petra Malesevich, who has been my faithful assistant for all these many years, first as aroid greenhouse manager and later as research assistant, is one of the unsung heros of the aroid community. She has served as a board member, membership chairperson, assistant editor, book sales and compiler of membership lists and Aroideana indices in addition to carrying out the multitude of tasks necessary in my own research program. Finally, the many others who were there making the society work; they are the ones who sold the plants, the T-shirts and books to make the profits which kept the journal in publication during the lean years. Certainly all of us owe them a debt of gratitude. The 1980s were, in many respects, some of the most important years for aroid research. This period saw the greatest increase of knowledge since the time of Engler, Krause, and Sodiro around the tum of the century. Most researchers who had begun their work in the period were still active. It was also a time of real ferment with a number of excellent, new, well-trained researchers beginning their careers with Araceae. Peter Boyce at Kew began work with Mediterranean Araceae. The focus of research on Araceae also became increasingly diverse; no longer mostly systematic, but instead focus widened to a number of behavioral and experimental approaches. Hegnauer reviewed the chemical attributes of the Araceae (Hegnauer, 1963, 1986, 1987). Tom Ray began working with a wide variety of aspects of growth behavior (See, Ray below). H. J. Tillich reported on seedling development (1985). Jim French conducted an extensive 51

27 52 and comprehensive review of technical aspects of the Araceae, including a wide spectrum of anatomical features and a broad molecular survey before embarking on studies with pollination biology of the Araceae (See French below). Mike Grayum startled the aroid world with his astounding new suprageneric classification that followed his thorough SEM review of pollen and a review of virtually all character states in the Araceae (Grayum, 1984). Marianne Knecht published her biosystematic study of the Araceae of the Ivory Coast. Denis Barabe began studies of floral anatomy. William Carvell followed with studies on the Pothoideae and Monsteroideae (Carvell, 1989a; 1989b). Robin Scribailo at Purdue North Central in Westville, Indiana, is now doing similar studies on floral anatomy. He published work on the developmental anatomy of Peltandra (Scribailo & Lloyd, 1993) and on shoot and floral development in Calla (Scribailo & Tomlinson, 1992). Gitte Petersen began her work with the cytology of the Araceae (see "Miscellaneous Disciplines" below). Helen Young (currently at Barnard College in New York), working at La Selva in Costa Rica, observed Philodendron rothschuhianum (Eng!. & K. Krause) Croat and Grayum (Young, 1987), and often with the assistance of George Schatz (Missouri Botanical Garden) studied reproductive biology of Dieffenbachia (Young, 1986, 1988a, 1988b) thereby discovering many interesting features that gave insight into all other beetle pollinated genera. Lloyd Goldwasser (University of California) worked on similar pollination projects. Long Chun-lin, working with Li Heng at the Kunming Institute of Botany, began working with Chinese Araceae. Finally, this decade saw one of the first and certainly the best book devoted to Araceae written for the general public, Aroids, written by Deni Bown, an amateur aroider and a highly regarded professional writer. Her book has gone a long way toward introducing Araceae to the general public. It is not only highly informative, but it is easy reading and is filled with excellent pictures (Bown, 1988). She also contributed papers AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 for Aroideana on naturalized English aroids (Bown, 1985) and on the history of Acorus calamus L. (Bown, 1987) to Aroideana. The published aroid research of James c. French, first at the University of Mississippi and later at Rutgers, began in the early 1980s. Perhaps no aroid worker was ever as prolific over a single decade. His first paper (French, 1977) dealt with growth relationships of leaves and internodes in vining angiosperms with different modes of attachment. His first paper dealing exclusively with Araceae was a collaborative survey of the vascular system in Araceae (French & Tomlinson, 1980). A series of papers followed which revealed the vascular anatomy of all the subfamilies: Pothoideae (French & Tomlinson, 1981a), Philodendroideae (French & Tomlinson, 1981b, 1984), Calloideae and Lasioideae (French & Tomlinson, 1981c), Monsteroideae (French & Tomlinson, 1981d), and Colocasioideae, Aroideae and Pistoideae (French & Tomlinson, 1983). Another work dealt with a much larger survey of Philodendron, a genus of especially variable vascular anatomy (French & Tomlinson, 1981b) while still another dealt with stems in general (French, 1983). French also embarked on an independent survey of a variety of anatomical features with the hope of understanding their taxonomic significance. These included meristems (Fisher & French, 1976, 1978), endothecial thickenings in stamens (French, 1985a, 1985b, 1986c), ovular vasculature (French, 1986a), sclerotic hypodermis in roots (French, 1987a), anastomosing laticifers (French, 1988), and patterns of staminal vasculature (French, 1986b). With M. G. Fox he studied the systematic occurrence of sterols in the latex of Colocasioideae (Fox & French, 1988). These broad surveys contributed greatly to a better understanding of the evolution of the Araceae and the attempt, so intense at that time, to resolve the differences in competing systems of classification (Grayum, 1984; Bogner & Nicolson, 1991). In a thorough survey of the chloroplast DNA of Araceae (French et al., 1995),

28 THOMAS B. CROAT, French and his colleagues contributed greatly to the most recent revision of the suprageneric classification of the Araceae (Mayo et al., 1997). Other molecular studies dealt with Acorus and Gymnostachys R. Br. (French & Kessler, 1989) and the Colocasioideae (Kessler & French, 1989). Jim French has covered a variety of distinct research topics in Araceae and has done them all well. His latest approach is with pollination biology which he is conducting during his sabatical while living with his family in Costa Rica. Alistair Hay began his career in New Guinea and published a treatment of the Araceae of Papua New Guinea (Hay, 1981). For his Ph.D. dissertation he revised Cyrtosperma (Hay, 1986, 1988a). With D. J. Mabberley he published a paper (Hay & Mabberley, 1991) on a controversial theory of evolution in Araceae and discussed its implication for the evolution of other angiosperms. Hay, now working at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney in Australia, had a major interest in Australasia and published a treatment of Alocasia for Australasia with R. Wise (Hay & Wise, 1991), discussed collecting Alocasia in New Guinea (Hay, 1990a), did a revision of Typhonium (Hay, 1993a) and Amorphophal Ius (Hay, 1988b) for Australasia, described the new genus, Lazarum, discovered in Australia (Hay, 1992a), published the Araceae of New South Wales (Hay, 1993b), and new taxa of Alocasia (Hay, 1989, 1994; Hay et al., 1997 in press), Colocasia (Hay, 1996b), Nephthytis in Borneo (Hay et ai., 1994), Rhaphidophora (Hay, 1993c), and aroids of Papua New Guinea (Hay, 1990b). Recently he completed a revision of the genus Pothos for New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Australia (Hay, 1995), introduced a new species of Typhonium (Hay & Taylor, 1996), and a revision of Schismatoglottis for Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore (Hay, 1996a). He is also publishing a revision of Homalomena in New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, and Solomon Islands (Hay, 1997a), an article on Alocasia meta (Hay et al., 1997), and on new species of Typhonium (Hay, 1997b). Hay has recently revised Alocasia in the Philippines (Hay, in press), reviewed Schismatoglottis in the Philippines (Hay, in press), and is working on a treatment of the Flora of Australia (Hay, in prep.), a revision of Alocasia in West Malaysia (Hay, in prep.), and a popular account of the Araceae of Sabah and Sarawak (Hay, in prep.). Other recently completed papers involve studies with shoot architecture in Pothos (Hay, in press) and a discussion of the value of living collections for taxonomic studies and for conservation (Hay, in press). Hay's interest has continued with the subfamily Lasieae worldwide. He described the neotropical genus Anaphyl/opsis A. Hay (Hay, 1988c) and discussed the tribal and subtribal distribution and circumscription of the Lasieae (Hay, 1992b) as well as the proper circumscription of Lasia concinna Alderw. (Hay, 1988d). Currently Hay is the coordinator of the Araceae treatment for the Flora Malesiana (Hay, 1994b), a project involving contributions from about a half dozen aroid taxonomists from all over the world, including, in addition to Hay, Josef Bogner, Peter Boyce, Wilbert Hetterscheid, Niels Jacobsen, Jin Murata, and Elizabeth Widjaja. A recent joint effort by several of these contributors has resulted in a checklist (Hay et al., 1995a) and a bibliography (Hay et al., 1955b). As the prime mover on the Flora Malesiana project and a member of the Flora Malesiana Foundation Board, his contribution to aroid research is certain to continue to be profitable. Tom Ray, carried out studies on growth and heterophylly on Syngonium for his Ph.D thesis at Harvard (Ray, 1981). While working at the University of Delaware, he played an important role in understanding growth of Araceae and his first paper in Araceae dealt with skototropism (Strong & Ray, 1975). Other early papers describe the physical aspects and variability of growth behavior in general terms (Ray, 1979) and use of specific cases to demonstrate growth behavior (Ray, 1983a, 1983b; Oberbauer et al., 1980). In another paper (Ray, 1986) he began to define terms and discuss the universality of the

29 54 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 stem segment regardless of its age. In another he discusses cyclic heterophylly of plants displaced from trees (Ray, 1987a). In a paper entitled "Leaf types in the Araceae" (Ray, 1987b) he begins to define the complex terminology that will become a part of his work. In the next two papers (Ray, 1987c, 1988) the system is further defined and a schematic formulation is provided for each type of shoot organization. Ray also describes metamorphosis, i.e. the abrupt change from one growth form to another, and discusses how this varies in different genera (Ray, 1990, 1992a). Another paper discusses a novel method to measure and record leaf shape using Syngonium podopbyllum Schott as a test case (Ray, 1992b). Though not a systematist, Ray did describe a new species of Syngonium (Ray, 1980). Ray's comparative surveys of most genera proved very useful in helping to sort out the generic relationships. With the assistance of Susanne Renner (Ray & Renner, 1990) he translated Part 2 of Engler's (1877) "Comparative Studies on the Morphology of the Araceae." This information was yet another important element in the body of knowledge accumulated during this productive period of Araceae research. Unfortunately for aroid research, Ray has embarked on another field of learning. His high intellect and imagination will be sorely missed in Araceae research. Hiromichi Yoshino from Kyoto University in Japan explored the Himalayas of Nepal and Bhutan (and wrote two general interest books on the subject) before he began his work with Araceae at the Kihara Institute for Biological Research in 1975, continuing his studies after he moved to Okayama University, publishing molecular studies on Colocasia and Alocasia in Japan and China (Yoshino, 1975, 1994). Another paper describes the morphological characteristics of the wild species of Colocasia (Yoshino, 1984). His Ph.D. dissertation dealt with a phylogenetic differentiation in taro, Colocasia esculenta (Yoshino, 1995). A recent paper deals with the phosphate and nitrate absorption ability of wild species of taro (Yoshino, 1995). Michael H. Grayum, while still a student at the University of Massachusetts; spent a summer in Costa Rica working at La Selva. His first paper dealing with Araceae described the characteristics of that flora (Grayum, 1982). His Ph.D. thesis, written at the University of Massachusetts, involved an SEM study of pollen, but in characteristic thoroughness, he studied every other known character state as well, and on this basis he developed a new system of classification of the genera of Araceae (Grayum, 1984). The system, quite at odds with that of Engler, has for the most part proven over time to better fit our modern state of knowledge of the family. Other papers dealing directly with the information assembled for his thesis include: one on the evolution and ecological significance of starch in pollen of Araceae (Grayum, 1985), the phylogenetic implications of pollen nuclear numbers in the Araceae (Grayum, 1986a, 1986b), correlation between pollination biology and pollen morphology with some implications for angiosperm evolution (Grayum, 1986b), and the systematic embryology of the Araceae (Grayum, 1991). The bulk of his thesis was published under the titles "Evolution and Phylogeny of the Araceae" (Grayum, 1990) and "Comparative External Pollen Ultrastructure of the Araceae and Putatively Related Taxa" (Grayum, 1992a). Another major contribution was his investigations supporting the removal of Acorus from the Araceae, listing 13 unique characteristics of Acorus not shared with other Araceae (Grayum, 1987a). Grayum's principal work with Araceae, since his thesis, has involved Costa Rica where he lived for seven years (Grayum, 1997), and with a revision of Pbilodendron subg. Pteromiscbum (Grayum, 1996). Some new species of P. subg. Pteromiscbum have been published (Grayum, 1992b, 1996) as well as a new Antburium (Grayum, 1993). He has also had an interest in Caladium and Cblorospatba (Grayum, 1987b, 1991b). Grayum now serves as Editor of the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden and co-investigator of the

30 THOMAS B. CROAT, Costa Rican Manual project. His latest efforts in this project involved a revision of the Araceae of Costa Rica. This has resulted in his current paper (Grayum, 1997). Marianne Knecht, from Switzerland, did a biosytematic study of the Araceae of Cote d'ivoire (Ivory Coast) in tropical West Africa. This was a thorough study of every aspect of each species occurring there from morphology to phytogeography, cytology, anatomy, palynology and flowering behavior. The results are published in a book in French (Knecht, 1983). Another paper deals with African traditional medicine (Knecht, 1980). M. Sivadasan (Das), from the University of Calicut in Kerala, India, has worked with the Araceae extensively since the mid-1970s. His unpublished doctoral thesis was a taxonomic study of the Araceae of South India (Sivadasan, 1982). His first published paper described a new species of Typhonium (Sivadasan & Nicolson, 1981), and his first major production was a revision of Tberiophonum (Sivadasan & Nicolson, 1982). Other publications include popular articles published on rare Indian aquatic plants, including Cryptocoryne(Sivadasan, 1985a, 1989b) and Lagenandra (Sivadasan, 1990; Sivadasan & Babu, 1995; Sivadasan & Bogner, 1986), and he co-produced the Araceae for the flora of Tamilnadu Camatic (Sivadasan & Nicolson, 1983). Sivadasan (1983) also wrote on threatened species of Indian aroids as well as the description of new species or new names of Arisaema (Sivadasan, 1985b; Sivadasan & Kumar, 1987; Sivadasan & Nicolson, 1981, 1983a), Lasia (Sivadasan & Sajeev, 1996), Amorphopbal Ius (Sivadasan, 1986a, 1986b, 1989a), Pothos (Sivadasan et al., 1989; 1994), and Tberiophonum (Sivadasan & Wilson, 1997, in press). Another paper discusses the pollination biology of Amorphopballus (Sivadasan & Sabu, 1989). In collaboration with C. R. Suresh and K. S. Manilal, he discussed the taxonomy of aroid species in H. A. van Rheede tot Draakestein's Hortus Indicus Malabaricus. Peter Boyce's interest in Araceae began about He was involved in the culti- vation of aroids and exploration and made a collecting trip to Crete as early as 1986 (Boyce, 1986). In his official capacity at the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, he began his work with Araceae as Simon Mayo's assistant. He properly chose to work in a different part of the world than Mayo, initially doing revisionary work with the Mediterranean genera, especially Arum, about which he has published a book (Boyce, 1993a). This work, complete with color paintings, covers all aspects of the taxonomy and biology of the genus. A similar book, this one dealing with Biarum, is to be published. Other publications on Mediterranean plants deal with Arisarum (Boyce, 1989, 1990), Biarum (Boyce, 1987b, 1995h; Boyce & Athanasiou, 1991), Arum (Boyce, 1987a, 1988, 1989, 1994a, 1995j), and include descriptions of new species. Boyce has also published a treatment of both Dracunculus and Helicodiceros Schott ex K. Koch (Boyce, 1994b). As noted above, Boyce is a member of the team working on the Araceae for the Flora Malesiana and has coauthored a checklist and bibliography of the region (Hay et al., 1995, 1995a) and has written about collecting in Peninsular Malaysia (Boyce, 1994). He is responsible for Epipremnum, Pothos, Rhaphidophora, and Scindapsus. He is also doing the Araceae for the Flora of Brunei (Boyce, 1994c, 1997). Most of his recent publications deal with the biogeography (Boyce, 1996c), and architecture and growth patterns of Pothos (Boyce & Poulsen, 1994) and P. grandis Buchet ex P. C. Boyce and D. V. Nguyen (Boyce & Nguyen, 1995, 1996), and miscellaneous papers as well as other genera from southeast Asia including Amydrium (Boyce, 1995a), Bucephalandra (Boyce, 1995b; Boyce et al., 1995a), Eminium (Lobin & Boyce, 1991), Hapaline (Boyce, 1996), Homalomena (Boyce, 1994b), Pinellia Ten. (Boyce, 1988), Schismatoglottis and Pycnospatha (Boyce, 1993b), Scindapsus (Boyce, 1993c) and Steudnera K. Koch (Boyce, 1995b). Besides working with Asian genera his studies have also included African genera,

31 56 AHO ldeana, Vol. 21 namely Culcasia 0 995g) and the Alnerican genera Anthurium (Boyce, 1995e) and Ulearum (Boyce, Boyce was largely responsible for compiling a special issue of Curtis's Botanical Magazine that was devoted entirely to Araceae and included genera from Asia, Africa, and America (Boyce, 1995d-0. Many of his individual contributions to this are cited above but he also wrote for this work an introduction to the family Araceae (Boyce, 1995d), Araceae at the herbarium of Kew (Boyce, 1996b), and an article on aroid conservation (Boyce, for the special issue. Boyce co-authored an article on aroid cultivation with P. Brewster and R. Wilford (Boyce et at., 1995), and along with Mayo and Bogner he contributed an al1icle on the history of Araceae research (Mayo et al., 1995). Boyce 0 996d) also contributed Arisarum, Arum, Biarum, and Pothos to The World of Plants series. Finally, Boyce is a member of a team (including Mayo and Bogner) who are working on a new understanding of the family at both the supra-family level (Mayo et al., 1995b) and at the suprageneric level (Mayo et al., in press). His intimate knowledge of the Asian Araceae is critical to that effo rt. Miklos Treiber, working at the University of NOl1h Carolina at Chapel Hill, did his Ph.D. thesis on a biosystematic study of the Al'isaema triphy llum complex (Treiber, 1980). Collette Ntepe-Nyame of the University of Cameroun has described a new species of Rhektophy llum N. E. Bf. (R. camerunense Ntepe-Nyame [now Cercestis) (Ntepe, 1981). She also wrote a paper, with R. Letouzey in Paris, on the nomenclatural and taxonomic problems with Culcasia scandens P. Beauv. (Letouzey & Ntepe, 1981). Her most recent contribution is the treatment of the Araceae for the Flore du Camero un (Ntepe-Nyame, 1988). The treatment, w ritten in French, has 56 plates each with one o r more detailed line drawings. Sue Thompson of the Carnegie Museum published her first paper o n the distribution and ecology of Cyrtosp erma chamissonis Merr. (Thompson, 1982). She has be- gun a revisio n of Xanthosoma (Thompson, 1984, 1985, 1989) and did her Ph.D. thesis on the systematics and biology of Araceae and Acoraceae of temperate North America (Thompson, 1990). She is completing a treatment of the Araceae for the Flora of North America (Thompson, in press) and another paper detailing the biology of North American Al'aceae (Thompson, in prep). Thompson is a member of the Honorary Board of Directors for the International Aroid Society and now also works as editor of the 1. A. S. Newsletter. Chinese botanists, Wen-yen Lien and Ru-zhi Feng, published a survey of Arisaema and Pinellia in China (Lien & Feng, 1982). Z. Xie et at. (996) also reported on morphological variation within P ternata (Thunb.) Ten. populations. Denis Barabe, at the Montreal Botanical Garden and working with different collaborators, made extensive studies of the fl o ral anatomy (Barabe, 1982; Barabe & Chretien, 1985, 1986; Barabe & Forget, 1988ab, 1992; Barabe & Labrecque, 1983, 1984, 1985; Barabe et al., 1984, 1985, 1986a, 1987a) and development (Barabe, 1993, 1994, 1995; Barabe and Bertrand, 1996; Barabe & Jean, 1996; Boubes & Barabe, 1996, 1997; Barabe et al., 1986b, 1987b, 1996). These studies include a discussion of neotany in the Araceae (Barabe, 1987) and a cladistic analysis of the Calloideae (Barabe & Forget, 1987a). The late Mark Moffl er, fo rmer editor of Aroideana and student of Homalomena, was working on a revision of the genus Homalomena at the time of his death. His published papers deal with the anatomy of Homalomena (Moffl er, 1983), a description of a new species with Josef Bogner (Moffl er & Bogner, 1984), the cold tolerance of Araceae (Moffl er, 1980), and on Anthurium aralii/oliu m Regel (Moffl er, 1981). His partially fi nished thesis on the genus is being revised by Richard Wunderlin, Tom Croat, and Richard Mansell; they are making fi nal revisions on the manuscript before publishing it (Moffler et al., in prep.). Farah D. Ghani from Malaysia published a paper on useful Araceae of Peninsular

32 THOMAS B. CROAT, Asia (Ghani, 1983) and one on edible aroids (Ghani, 1984a) that includes keys for the identification of cultivars of Colocasia esculenta in Malaysia (Ghani, 1984b). George R. Haager, currently Director of the Prague Botanical Garden in the Czech Republic has had a long interest in Araceae, collecting in Mexico, Venezuela, and Ecuador. He was responsible for collecting Antburium sarukbanianum Croat & Haager in Mexico (Croat, 1991a). He has also described other new species from Ecuador (Haager & Jenik, 1984) and Mexico (Haager,I991). W. Greuter (Greuter, 1984) produced a revision of Arum for the island of Crete in the Mediterranean. Arie de Graaf, sometimes with J. c. Arends and J. D. Bastmeijer, has published papers on Cryptocoryne. Graaf and Arends published on the occurrence of Cryptocoryne and Lagenandra in Sri Lanka (Graaf, 1987a, 1987b, 1988, 1991; Graaf & Arends, 1986). J. D. Bastmeijer published a series of short papers, each featuring a species of Cryptocoryne (Bastmeijer, 1982, 1984, 1986a, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993; Bastmeijer & Leenen, 1983; Bastmeijer & Kettner, 1991; Bastmeijer et al., 1984) and along with Arends published on the chromosomes of Lagenandra (Arends & Bastmeijer, 1978). He published biographic notes about de Wit and Jacobsen (Bastmeijer, 1986b). Finally Arends and F. M. van der Laan published a paper on the chromosomes of Lagenandra (Arends & van der Laan, 1978). Richard Keating from Southern Illinois University has spent part of the past 15 years working on the vegetative anatomy of the Araceae for Metcalfe and Chalk's Anatomy of Monotocotyledons (Keating, in prep.). He has presented papers at major meetings that dealt with the anatomical distinction between the Pothoideae and Monsteroideae (Keating, 1980) and with other relationships within the family (Keating, 1982). Other general papers entitled "Techniques for studying aroid anatomy," "Vegetative anatomical features in the Araceae," and "Structural trends in lamina histology in the Araceae" are expected to be published in upcoming issues of Aroideana. William N. Carvel has completed an as yet unpublished thesis dealing with the floral anatomy of the Pothoideae and Monsteroideae (Carvell, 1989a, 1989b). Another work worthy of mention is a completed revision of Stenospermation for Central America by Alcira Perez de Gomez (983), a Venezuelan student from Barquisimeto, working under the direction of Tom Croat. Kerim Alpinar, at the Department of Pharmacy of the University of Istanbul in Turkey, works with the Araceae of Turkey and has published chromosome information on Arum in Turkey (Alpinar, 1987) as well as phytochemistry of Dracunculus vulgaris Schott (Alpinar & Meridi, 1987). Long Chun-lin from the Kunming Institute of Botany in China published his first papers on Amorpbopballus in China in collaboration with Li Heng (Li & Long, 1989a, 1989b). In collaboration with Li Heng, Gu Zhijian, and Liu Xianzhang, he produced a cytogeographic study of Remusatia (Long et al., 1989) and a study of the karyotypes of Amorpbopballus from China. A recent paper dealt with ethnobotanical uses of Amorpbopballus (Long, 1992). Z. Y. Zhu (985) redescribed Alocasia cucullata (Lour.) G. Don in Sichuan, China as the "new" genus Panzbuyuia with a single species, P. omeiensis. P. J. Matthews published several papers on taro, including their cultivation (Matthews, 1987), the origins, dispersal and domestication (Matthews, 1990, 1995; Matthews et al., 1992), and on ribosomal and mitochondria DNA variation (Matthews et al., 1992). S. Chandra (1984) published a work on the taro and other edible aroids. Yashica Singh, from the National Botanic Institute in Durban, South Africa in collaboration with A. E. van Wyk and H. Baijnath, has published a guide to identifying members of Zantedescbia (Singh et al., 1995). They have also worked on the floral biology of Z. aetbiopica (Singh et al., 1996a) and on taxonomic notes of the genus (Singh et al., 1996b). These publications form part of an M.Sc. study on the

33 58 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 systematics of Zantedeschia (Singh, 1996) undertaken by Singh at the University of Pretoria. Jenn-Che Wang from Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, Taiwan has completed a systematic revision of Taiwanese Arisaema (Wang, 1996). The work contains detailed drawings, photographs of spathe and spadix, and pollen micrographs. MISCEllANEOUS DISCIPLINES THAT PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN TIm IUSTORY OF AROID RESEARCH It is not the intent of this paper to cover all disciplines that have affected our understanding of Araceae. However, some specialized researchers made discoveries that have greatly enhanced our understanding of the taxonomy and evolution of the family. Papers dealing with fossils, though often individually not important, should be mentioned because of their relative importance to the study of evolution of Araceae. Among them are papers by Madison and Tiffney (976), Bogner 0976c), Gregor & Bogner 0984, 1989), Dilcher & Daghlian (977), and (Stockey et al., 1997). In the field of vegetative and floral anatomy of aroids, the works of P. van Tieghem 0867, 1872, 1885), H. Solereder (919), and Solereder and F. J. Meyer (928) are noteworthy, as are those of M. Lierau (1887, 1888) on roots, M. Dalitzsch (886) on leaf anatomy, and E. Daumann (931) on nectar production. Engler, no doubt, built on these extensive anatomical studies and more recent morphological studies of floral anatomy by Eyde et al. (1967), Carvell, Barabe, and Blanc (see above) and studies with fruits and seeds (Martius, 1831; Krishnamurthi and Geetha, 1986; Kulkarni et al., 1990; Seubert, 1993) have also been important in helping to define relationships in the family. [See also the discussion of the important anatomical work by J. C. French.] Developmental and embryological studies have been comprehensive. Embryological studies have been made by D. H. Campbell 0900, 1903, 1912) and F. J. Jiissen (929), and systematically important aspects of embryology were reviewed by Grayum (1985, 1986a). James Gow (908) made developmental studies on a variety of genera, followed by a paper attempting to define phylogeny in the Araceae (Gow, 1913a, 1913b) [see also Barabe, Blanc, and Ray above}. Other studies of growth behavior have been made on Philodendron (Ritterbusch, 1971) and Symplocarpus and Lysichiton (Rosendahl, 1911). Hans-Jiirgen Tillich, from Germany, has carried out extensive surveys of the structure and growth behavior of seedlings of Araceae as a part of his broader survey (Tillich, 1985). Also, M. Mobius (1936) published a brief review of vegetative reproduction. Molecular studies have been done on the economically useful genera Colocasia and Alocasia by H. Yoshino 0975, 1994, 1995, in press) in Japan and China. (See also section above on James French.) Papers critical to the understanding of the evolution of the Araceae are molecular studies of rbcl in the Liliiflorae (Chase & Albert, 1995) and among all monocots (Duvall et al., 1993). A recent molecular study appears to establish the Lemnaceae along with the genus Pistia to form a monophylletic group within the Araceae (Stockey et al., 1997). There have been numerous studies on chromosomes of Araceae. In England, C. J. Marchant conducted an important series of cytological studies throughout much of the 1970's (Marchant, 1970, 1971a, 1971b, 1972, 1973, 1974). His section by section treatment and discussion of cytology is one of the earliest attempts to understand the Araceae cytologically. His cytological work was preceeded by others, who though not dealing specifically with Araceae, did a great deal of cytological work with the Araceae. Among these researchers are G. E. Jones in the United States (Jones, 1957), P. pfitzer (Pfitzer, 1957) in Germany, and several other cytologists, especially in India. Principal among the Indian cytologists is A. K. Sharma and his collaborators. Their papers deal with a study of karyotypes (Sharma & Das, 1954), ::..

34 THOMAS B. CROAT, the cytological evolution of Aglaonema and Richardia 1. [= Zantedeschial (Sharma & Datta, 1961), a cytological study on Philodendron and Monstera (Sharma & Mukhopadhyay, 1964), on Arisaema and Typhonium (Sharma & Mukhopadhyay, 1965) and on eight genera in five tribes (Sharma & Bhattacharya, 1968). Other cytological work was carried out by A. Mookerjea who attempted to trace the evolution of a number of genera of Araceae (Mookerjea, 1955). Both K. Ramachandran (1977, 1978) and K. S. Patil (Patil & Dixit, 1995) did studies on Indian Araceae. Reviews of the cytology of the Araceae were made by C. J. Marchant (Marchant, 1970, 1971a, 1971b, 1972, 1973, 1974) and the cytology of Anthurium has been recently summarized by Sheffer (Sheffer & Croat, 1983) and for the whole family by Gitte Petersen of Copenhagen. Petersen did a thorough review of the cytology of the Araceae for her Masters thesis as well as in other subsequent cytological work (Petersen, 1989, 1993a, 1993b; Petersen, unpublished). Kai Larsen, at the University of Aarhus, did a revision of the cytology of the aroids of Thailand (Larsen, 1969). Michael H. Grayum has recently reviewed the palynology of the Araceae (Grayum, 1984, 1990). In addition to Grayum's study there have been other major and some minor palynological studies on the Araceae. One of the first thorough studies that preceded Grayum was a light microscopic study of Araceae pollen by the late G. Thanikaimoni (1969) of India. Ohashi et al. (1983; J. Murata & Ohashi, 1984) reviewed the pollen morphology of Arisaema. M. Zavada made an extensive comparative study on aroid pollen in his review of monocot pollen, especially involving evolutionary trends of aperatures and wall structures (Zavada, 1983). Chemical aspects of Araceae have been reviewed by Hegnauer (Hegnauer, 1963, 1986, 1987) and more recently by Dring and his associates at the Jodrell Laboratory at Kew (Dring et al., 1995). Studies on pollination biology of Araceae are numerous and have been re- viewed elsewhere (Grayum, 1986c, 1990; Bay 1995). K. Dormer (1960) wrote on pollination in Arum. Most have dealt with the physiological phenomenon of thermogenesis (Walker et al., 1983) and only indirectly with pollination (Uemura et al., 1993). No attempt will be made here to review all of the literature on pollination biology of Araceae but some of the more recent and thus not previously reviewed papers dealing with the subject will be mentioned here. A recent paper (Patt et al., 1995) discusses the brood-site-based pollination system of Peltandra virginica (1.) Kunth in eastern North America. The work also serves as the debut of Jim French, one of the coauthors, into work with pollination systems. Pollination strategies were studied in Brazilian species of Philodendron (Gottsberger & Amaral, 1984). Daniel Beath, from England, has a principal interest in pollination of Araceae and has completed a study on Amorphophallus in Ghana (Beath, 1996). He is currently working on pollination studies in the American Tropics in Panama. Current work on palynology is being carried out by V. F. Tarasevich at the Komarov Botanical Institute. She has published an SEM study of 34 species of Anthurium (Tarasevich, 1989). A major review work on P-type sieveelement plastids of all the Arales (Behnke, 1995) provides new evidence for the interrelationship of the Araceae to other closely related monocots and for the subgeneric classification of the family. Finally, other general papers dealing with phylogeny are critical to the understanding of the evolution and general placement of the Araceae among the monocotyledons. Some of these are: Takhtajan (1969, 1980, 1997); Thorne (1968, 1976, 1983); Hutchinson (1973); Cronquist (1981); and Dahlgren and Rassmussen (1983). MISCEllANEOUS PAPERS MOSTLY DEALING WITH SPECIFIC GENERA In any review of this kind there are always some research publications or indi-

OTHER SPECIAL GENERAL WORKS DEALING WITH ARACEAE Many general works have already been cited that are general in nature but which have dealt, at least in part, with Araceae. These include all the general floristic works and even large monographic accounts such as Das Pjlanzenreich and PjlanzenJamilien (cited above under Engler) but there are also many general works, both taxonomic and ecological, in which Araceae are included. These can be important sources of information for the family. Among these works are standard works (some cited elsewhere in this paper) describing broad scale systems of classification. These include Engler's Syllabus der PjlanzenJamilien (Melchior, 1964), as well as the classification systems by J. Hutchinson (Hutchinson, 1934, 1959), A. Lemee (Lemee, 1941), G. H. M. Lawrence, (Lawrence, 1964), A. B. Rendle (Rendle, 1930); A. Cronquist (1968), R. M. J. Dahlgren, & H. J. Clifford (1982; Dahlgren et al., 1985). Other general works that discuss important aspects of Araceae are those dealing with phytogeography (Willis, 1949), fruit dispersal (van der Pijl, 1969), ethnobotany (Duke & Vasquez, 1994), pollination systems (Faegri & van der Pijl, 1966), growth habits of monocotyledons (Holttum, 1955), and rheophytic plants (van Steenis, 1981, 1987). A few standard reference works dealing with horticultural plants are also important references. These include the Manual oj Cultivated Plants (Bailey, 1949), The Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture (Bailey, 1963), Hortus Third (Bailey & Bailey, 1976), Exotica 3 (Graf, 1963), Exotica 4 (Graf, 1982), Exotica International (Graf, 1985), Tropica (Graf, 1986) and Hortica (Graf, 1992), The New York Botanical Garden Illustrated Encyclopedia oj Horticulture (Everett, ), The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary oj Gardening (Huxley, 1992), European Garden Flora (Walters et al., 1984); The RHS Encyclopedia oj House Plants (Beckett, 1987), Index oj Garden Plants (Griffiths, 1994), Pareys Blumengiirtnerei (Encke, 1958), and In Gardens oj Hawaii (Neal, 1965). A few additional references are in effect dictionaries that give vital statistics and in some cases a list of all genera for each family. Among the earliest complete dictionary of this type was that by Ernst Ender (1864) who published his Index Aroidearurn with an introduction by Karl Koch. In Genera Siphonogarum genera are arranged according to the Englerian system (Dalla Torre & Harms, 1900). This work gives details about the taxonomy of the family and is directly associated with a separate concise dictionary (Dalla Torre & Harms, 1958). In the Plant Book (Mabberley, 1987) genera are arranged alphabetically. An important reference source for learning about floristic projects that might now, or in the future, deal with Araceae floras is Floristic Inventory oj Tropical Countries by D. G. Campbell and H. D. Hammond (1989). PRESENT FOCUS ON AROID RESEARCH The current focus of research with Araceae is to a great extent covered by the past history since many of the participants are doing similar research and continue to be active. Simon Mayo, Josef Bogner, and Peter Boyce have put the final touches on their book, The Genera oj Araceae, published in 1997 as a Kew publication. Simon Mayo is back at Kew and he continues his efforts in Brazil along with several Brazilian collaborators. Mayo is working on a checklist for the Araceae of Brazil. Jim French has discontinued his molecular work with Araceae and has spent his sabbatical year in Costa Rica studying pollination biology. Tom Croat is pursuing a revision of Dieffenbachia of Central America and is completing a revision of Rhodospatha, and will soon embark on a revision of Anthurlum sect. Porphyrochitonium. With Richard Mansell, University of 61

37 62 South Florida, Tampa, he is working on a revision of Anthurium sect. Semaeophyllium. He also continues to work with floristic projects in South America, especially with Dorothy Bay on the Araceae of Bajo Calima and the Araceae of the Guianas. Croat is organizing a three day International Aroid Conference to follow the XVI International Botanical Congress in St. Louis in Alistair Hay, Peter Boyce, Wilbert Hetterscheid, and others on the Flora Malesiana team continue to work toward finishing that major Asian project, now due to be completed in the year Hay is also responsible for organizing an aroid conference in Sydney in Hetterscheid works independently on his revision of Asiatic Amorphophallus, with S. Ittenbach on the. African Amorphophal/us species, and with Ittenbach and Bogner on the Amorphophal/us species from Madagascar. Jin Murata spends a lot of time in China working on a revision of Arisaema for that region as well as for the Flora Malesiana region. He is also undertaking molecular studies on all genera he can acquire. Li Heng is working on a revision of the Araceae treatment for the Flora of China to be included in the English version of the flora, a project being done in part with collaboration by the Missouri Botanical Garden. Li also was responsible for organizing the VI International Aroid Conference held in Kunming, China in late June The field of Araceae research is attracting new researchers in both Latin America and in Asia. A large group of researchers, though perhaps having a long-standing interest in Araceae, began publishing articles regarding Araceae in the present decade and some are only beginning their studies. Matyas Buzg6, from the Botanical Garden and Institute for Systematic Botany at the University of Zurich has studied floral development in Araceae, especially Pistia (Buzg6, 1994) and Lagenandra. A small group of researchers in the Department of Horticulture at the University of Hawaii continues work begun by H. Kamemoto with Anthurium. Most of the AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 work, carried out under the supervision of Adelheid R. Kuehnle, deals with aspects of plant breeding, morphology, and embryology. Tracie K. Matsumoto, a student of Kuehnle, did her thesis on the embryology of Anthurium (Matsumoto, 1994) and has subsequently published other papers dealing with the origin of somatic embryos (Matsumoto et al., 1996), the improvements of observing plant structures with light microscopy (Matsumoto et al., 1995), and on micropropagation of anthuriums (Matsumoto & Kuehnle, 1996). Others who have been working with Araceae are Marcus Nadruz (Rio de Janiero Botanical Garden), Shrirang Ramchadra Yadav, from Shivaji University, Gladys Benevides, and Jimena Rodriguez de Salvador. Benevides did her thesis on a study of the Araceae of the 'La Favorita' Biological Reserve in Pichincha Province (Benevides & Ordonez, 1993). She is continuing her studies with Araceae in other parts of Ecuador. Ileana Arias Granda, working at the botanical garden in Havana, Cuba has a strong interest in Cuban Araceae (Arias Granda, 1992, 1994). Shrirang Ramchandra Yadav, formerly of Goa University in India and now at Shivaji University in Kolapur, India, works on the Araceae of western Ghats (Yadav et al., 1993). Elke Seubert conducted a thorough survey of fruits and seeds of the Araceae and proposed a novel system of classification based on that information (Seubert, 1993). Her book, "Die Samen der Araceen" has a wealth of information about fruits and especially seed and contains excellent line drawings. To summarize her work, her observations are divided into five categories: (1) flower characteristics; (2) vegetative characteristics; (3) seed characteristics: seedcoat; (4) seed characteristics: endosperm and embryo; and (5) location of crystals. Each category is further subdivided into four or five features. Diagrams are presented with the use of colored lines denoting tribes and subfamilies possessing each feature. A review is planned by Josef Bogner. Seubert also studied the distribution and frequency of sclereids within aerial-roots, leaf sheaths, petioles, blades,

38 THOMAS B. CROAT, 1998 spadices, and flowers in Araceae (Seubert, 1997). Elizabeth Widjaja, working at the Bogor Botanical Garden herbarium in Indonesia did her graduate work in England on the genus Amorpbopballus. Sunu [monomial), a student of Elizabeth A. Widjaja in Bogor, Indonesia, is working on a revision of Anadendrum. Mikhail Serebryanyi, Moscow Main Botanical Gardens, has a principal interest in the Araceae of Vietnam, especially Potbos and Pseudodracontium N. E. Br. He has prepared a revision of the latter (Serebryanyi, 1995). His first paper dealing with Araceae dealt with pigmentation in new leaves of Anubias (Serebryanyi & Filimonove, 1990). During his field work in Vietnam he discovered new species, some of which have been published (Serebryanyi, 1991; Hetterscheid and Serebryanyi, 1994).. Serebryanyi, in collaboration with other computer staff at the Moscow Main Botanical Garden, has developed a computerized database for Araceae nomenclature. He organized the very successful IV International Botanical Congress in Moscow in August Wilbert Hetterscheid began his career at the University of Utrecht and now works for Vaste Keurings Commissie in Alsmeer. His major botanical connection is at the Leiden Botanical Garden where his living collection is housed. He is working on a.revision of the Asian species of the large and complex genus Amorpbopballus and he has been successful in bringing many of the species into cultivation, an essential task since herbarium material of these huge plants is notoriously poorly prepared. With S. Ittenbach (Hetterscheid & Ittenbach, 1996), many species of Amorpbopballus from Asia and Africa were described and illustrated. Hetterscheid estimates that there are a total of 200 species in the genus. He has already published a considerable number of new species, 36 to date (Hetterscheid, 1991, 1992, 1994a, 1994b; Hetterscheid and de Sarker, 1996; Hetterscheid and Serebryanyi, 1994; Hetterscheid et al., 1994, 1996). With the help of Ching-I Peng from the Academica Sinica in Taipei, he revised the Amorpbopballus of Taiwan (Hetterscheid & Peng, 1995) and with S. R. Yadav and K. S. Patil (Hetterscheid et al., 1994) he worked on members of Amorpbopballus section Rapbiopballus. A major participant in the Araceae treatment for the Flora Malesiana, Wilbert Hetterscheid is the European coordinator for the project headquartered in Leiden. He will contribute Amorpbopballus to the flora project. He was a coauthor of the checklist and bibliography for the Flora Malesiana region (Hay et al., 1995, 1995a). Larry Klotz, though not otherwise known as an aroid researcher, made an interesting study of Orontium aquaticum 1. (Klotz, 1991, 1992). A. Lourteig (990), at the Paris Herbarium, has attempted to typify some of the Araceae depicted in the illustrations done by Charles Plumier ). Duangchai Sookchaloem (nee Sriboonrna), who completed her graduate work under the direction of Jin Murata in Tokyo, works at the Forestry Herbarium at the Royal Forest Department in Bangkok, Thailand. She has revised Typbonium with Jin Murata and K. Iwatsuki (Sriboonma et al., 1993; Sookchaloem, 1994). Her work involved molecular studies with restriction site analysis of chloroplast DNA (Sriboonrna et al., 1993). Guanghua Zhu, a student of Tom Croat, completed a revision of Dracontium for his Ph.D. study o 994b, 1995b). He has published a new species (Zhu, 1995a) and several papers on the nomenclature of Dracontium (Zhu, 1994a, 1996; Zhu & Grayum, 1995) as a step toward the publication of his monograph (Zhu, 1997). His interests continue with the New World Lasioideae, especially Urospatba Schott and Montricbardia Crueg. Zhu has been instrumental in designing and establishing the International Aroid Society web site which is associated with the Missouri Botanical Garden's web site. Nguyen Van Dzu (Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources, Hanoi, Vietnam) is working on the Araceae of Vietnam (Nguyen, 1994). With Peter Boyce he published a paper on Potbos grandis (Boyce 63

39 64 & Nguyen, 1995) and with Tom Croat another describing a new species of Typhonium (Nguyen & Croat, 1997). Dorothy Bay (Missouri Southern State College), also a student of Tom Croat, prepared a floristic survey of a species-rich site along the coast of western Colombia at Bajo Calima (see above). This massive work, with complete descriptions of over 100 species (a large percentage of them being new to science), will be published in the Annals of the Missouri Botanical Garden. Jenn-Che Wang from National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei has completed an excellent study of the Taiwanese Arisaema (Wang, 1992, 1996). Jimena Rodrfguez de Salvador has worked in Ecuador on the Araceae of the ENDESA Biological Reserve (Pichincha Province). (Rodrfguez, 1987, 1989; Croat & Rodriguez, 1995). Despite being a region frequented by Sodiro, a high percentage of the flora proved to be new to science. Frieda Billiet, of the National Botanical Gardens in Brussels and in charge of the living collections there, has collected in French Guiana and elsewhere. She has long been devoted to the Araceae and made her publication debut with Araceae in Curtis's Botanical Magazine (Billiet, 1996) with a discussion of Philodendron and a redescription of P. billietiae Croat (see Croat, 1995a). Stephan Ittenbach from the University of Bonn in Germany, working under the guidance of Wolfram Lobin, is doing his Ph.D. dissertation on African Amorphophallus. Lobin has published a new species of Eminium in the Near East with P. Boyce (Lobin & Boyce, Bruce Hoffman studied aerial root fiber products in Guayana made from Heteropsis flexuosa for his M.S. Thesis at Florida International University (Hoffman, 1997). In Asia a number of students are working on projects involved with Araceae. Melanie Medecilo is doing a revision of Philippine Epipremnum under the supervision of Domingo Madulid at the Philippine National Herbarium. Lim Sheh Ping, under the supervision of Ruth Kiew at the Uni- AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 versity Pertanian Malaysia, is working with Araceae (and other families) occurring on the limestone formation in Sabah. Yasamni [monomial], working at Kebun Raya (Bogor National Herbarium) under the direction of Alistair Hay, is working on terrestrial species of Araceae from Java. Baharuddin Sulaiman is working on the taxonomy of wetland Araceae in North Peninsular Malaysia at the Universiti Sains Malaysia on Penang Island in Malaysia. A Japanese botany student, Yasuko MOri, under the supervision of H. Okado, is working on pollination and population dynamics in Furtadoa in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. Finally, current students of Tom Croat, John Gaskin (Washington University) and Jane Whitehill (University of Missouri-St. Louis), will both be working with Araceae for their Ph.D. dissertations. Whitehill has done studies on reproductive biology in Araceae (Whitehill, 1993) and is conducting molecular studies with members of the former Colocasioideae. Gaskin, currently doing molecular studies to understand the relationships of different sections of Anthurium (especially those with glandular punctations) will continue molecular studies in Araceae. GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OF RESEARCH WTI1I ARACEAE There are geographical parameters to current research. While Josef Bogner works primarily with generic problems and on small taxonomic groups throughout the world, most researchers concentrate on a single continent or sometimes a single country. A few workers, such as Croat, Grayum, Sheffer, and Mayo and his collaborators in Brazil, deal almost exclusively with neotropical genera. Mayo's principal involvement has been eastern Brazil, especially Bahra. Croat's principal involvement for the early part of his career was in Central America, but in the last decade he has been concentrating on revisionary and floristic work in South America. A number of researchers are now heavi-

40 momas B. CROAT, ly committed to Asia because of the Flora Malesiana project. These include Boyce, Hay, Hetterscheid, Murata, Nicolson, and E. Widjaja. Presently, there are more researchers working on the Araceae of Asia than in any other area. In addition to those already mentioned on the Flora Malesiana project, other researchers include Li Heng and Kao Pao-Chung in China, H. Ohashi, H. Okada, and M. Hotta in Japan (and sometimes other areas such as Sumatra), M. Sivadasan and S. R. Yadav in India, and D. Sookchaloem in Thailand. Floristic works are also being carried out in the neotropics. These include floras being prepared for the following geographic regions: G. S. Bunting (Araceae for the Flora of Venezuela), in Colombia, D. Bay and T. Croat, for the Flora of Bajo Calima in Valle Department and T. Croat and J. Lake for the La Planada Reserve in Narifto Department; Choc6 Department (Forero & Gentry, 1989). In Ecuador, Araceae treatments are being prepared for the Flora of Ecuador as well as for florulas at Reserva ENDESA (Croat & Rodriguez, 1995), in Pinchincha Province; Jatun Sacha, Napo Province; Rio Guajalito, Pichincha Province, and for the Flora of the Guianas; M. Grayum (Araceae for the Costa Rica Manual project); G. Benevides (Ecuador) Flora La Favorita, Pichincha; and Simon Mayo and Marcus Nadruz who are doing floristic studies on the flora of Brazil. Mayo and Nadrus have an unpublished manuscript for a checklist of the Araceae of Brazil and Mayo has a similar checklist for the Araceae of Bahra State in Brazil. Researchers working with European and Near Eastern Araceae include M. Bedalov working with Arum, H. Riedl with Eminium and K. Alpinar, Araceae in Turkey. Because of the paucity of Araceae in Africa, relatively little work has been done in mainland Africa although Bogner has worked extensively in adjacent Madagascar and S. Ittenbach of the Bonn Botanical Garden is revising the Amorphophallus of Africa. FUTURE RESEARCH NEEDS The following summary of the taxonomic needs, in so far as they pertain to the neotropics, is a synopsis of a more extensive analysis entitled "Taxonomic status of Neotropical Araceae" (Croat, 1994c). The Araceae are not equally distributed throughout the world, being much more abundant in tropical areas. There are two major centers of species diversity, tropical Asia, with 44 indigenous genera, and tropical America, with 36 (Croat, 1979b). Of these, 33 (75%) are endemic to the American tropics and 32 (89O,1l) are endemic to Asia. Africa, a less important center of species diversity, has only 19 indigenous genera, 12 (63%) of them endemic. Research with Araceae is also quite unequal on a worldwide basis. It has, for obvious reasons, been most intense in temperate areas, especially in North America, Europe and Japan because most work has been done by Europeans, Americans, or Japanese, respectively. If, as expected, the current work with the Flora Malesiana project results in regional treatments of such large genera as A morpho phallus, Homalomena, Pothos, Rhaphidophora, and Schismatoglottis, the obvious priority for Asia would be to continue these studies to include India and other areas of Asia so that complete monographic revisions could be completed. Hetterscheid will independently complete his revision of Amorphophalus within the next few years. The balance of Asia, which includes such complex genera as Aglaonema (already revised once by Dan Nicolson [Nicolson, 1969]) Alocasia, Arisaema, Homalomena, Pothos, Rhaphidophora, Scindapsus, and Schismatoglottis, should prove no obstacle for the Flora Malesiana team now assembled. The revision of the Araceae for the Flora of China by Li Heng, Jin Murata, and perhaps others is opportune, given the strong impetus of the Flora Malesiana project. There are areas where more field work would be welcome, such as in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and especially Myanmar; areas long closed to most of the world's botanists, the latter two countries still closed today. Work in India (by M. Sivadasan) and Vietnam (Nguyen, Boyce, and SerebryanyO is in preparation. Still, it seems logical that the

41 66 Araceae of Asia and the mostly related continent of Australia might become quite well known within the next 25 years. Australia was thought to be well known until A. Hay discovered a batch of new species and a genus new to Asia. Described as the new genus Lazarum, Hay now believes it to be a new species of Peltandra, otherwise known only from North America. Africa is a lesser center of species diversity than Asia, as noted above, but many of the genera have only a few species and none are large. This should make the taxonomy of the area less complicated. Considerable floristic work took place in Africa in earlier colonial times but less floristic and monographic work is being done today with Araceae. Much of the continent is now relatively well known floristically, thanks to a modern revision of Tropical East Africa (Mayo, 1985a) and Madagascar (Bogner, 1972a, 1972b, 1973a, 1973b, 1975). However, there still are areas which need to be further explored, especially in Cameroon, Gabon, Central African Republic, and Congo (formerly Zaire). Yet except for the genus Culcasia, which is complex, fairly species-rich and in need of a modern revision, the continent of Africa by no means poses serious taxonomic problems for Araceae (Hepper, 1967). Stephan Ittenbach, from the University of Bonn, under the supervision of Wolfram Lobin, is committed to doing a revision of the African species of Amorphophallus. Anubias has recently been revised (Crusio, 1979a, 1987; de Wit, 1990) and much of the genus Stylochaeton occurs in the region of the Flora of Tropical East Africa. A thorough study of the Araceae of the Ivory Coast (Knecht, 1983), a part of Tropical West Africa, appears to be relatively wellknown and well-documented. This study, coupled with the relatively thorough revisions by Hepper (1968a) leave me with the impression that even a massive collecting program would not yield much new information to science. The flora of Europe and the Near East is by now well known due to a variety of works including G. Hegi (Hegi, 1909, 1939) and the revision of this work by H. AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 Riedl (Riedl, 1979) as well as the more recently published Bliitenpjlanzen Mitteleuropas (Aichele & Schwegler, 1996). Other efforts include Riedl's own work on the Flora of Iran and the Flora of Iraq in the Near East (Riedl, 1963, 1969, 1985), as well as works for Spain (Caballero, 1940); the Balkan Peninsula (Hayek, 1933); Iran (Assadi, 1989), Syria & Lebanon (Mouterde, 1966); Israel (Koach, 1988), a revision of Arum for the island of Crete (Greuter, 1984); the treatment for the Flora Europaea (Amaral Franco et al., 1980) and Peter Boyce's work with the studies of Mediterranean genera (Boyce 1994a, 1993a). Floristic work in Eastern Europe includes that of Russia (Kuzeneva, 1935) and Bulgaria (Kuzmanov, 1964). Sue Thompson has revised the Araceae for the Flora of North America (in press). D. G. Huttleston (1953) earlier published a study of North American species. Monographic work on Arisaema for North America was done by Huttleston (Huttleston, 1953), and by Blackwell and Blackwell at Miami University (Blackwell & Blackwell, 1974), and by M. Treiber at the University of North Carolina (Treiber, 1980). Araceae of the region has been well studied in a wide range of regional floras or checklists, e.g. North America (Shetler & Skog, 1878; Kartesz & Kartesz, 1980); Canada (Marie-Victorin, 1931), Nova Scotia (Roland & Smith, 1969); northern U.S. and Canada (Britton & Brown, 1970; Lazarides et al., 1988); the Pacific Northwest (Hitchcock et al., 1969; Hitchcock & Cronquist, 1973); California (Jepson, 1925; Thomas, 1961; Hickman, 1993); Montana (Dorn, 1988a); Arizona (Kearney & Peebles, 1964); Colorado (Harrington, 1954); Wyoming (Dorn, 1988b); Great Plains (Rydberg, 1932; Churchill, 1986); North Dakota (Kannowski, 1989; Stevens, 1950); South Dakota (van Bruggen, 1985); Kansas (Barkley, 1968; Bare, 1979; Brooks, 1986; Stevens, 1961); Wisconsin (Judziewicz, 1993); Michigan (Voss, 1972); Missouri (Steyermark, 1963; Yatskievych & Turner, 1990; Dennison, 1978; St. Louis area (Eisendrath, 1978); Ozarks [Missouri] (Leake & Leake, 1989); Illinois (Mohlenbrock,

42 THOMAS B. CROAT, ); Oklahoma (Waterfall, 1972); Arkansas (Hunter, 1988; Hyatt, 1993; Smith, 1994); Alabama (Diamond & Freeman, 1993); Texas (Gould, 1962; Correll & Johnston, 1979; Hatch et al., 1990); Mississippi (Fritsch, 1993; Lowe, 1921; Timme, 1989); the Carolinas (Radford, et al., 1968); eastern North America (Fernald, 1950; Leck & Simpson, 1993; Gleason & Cronquist, 1991; Stalter et al., 1993); Blue Ridge Mountains (Wofford, 1989; Ramsey et al., 1993); southeastern USA (Small, 1933; Wilson, 1960; Duncan & Foote, 1975); southwestern USA (Correll & Correll, 1972); tropical Florida (Long & Lakela, 1971); central Florida (Wunderlin, 1982), and the Florida Panhandle (Clewell, 1985). Hawaii, politically a part of the United States, has only introduced species (Croat, 1994c; Wagner et ai., 1990). NEED FOR RESEARCH IN NEOTROPICS While the paleotropics has more genera than the neotropics (61 versus 36), the neotropics is proportionately much richer in species with South America alone having roughly two-thirds of the 3,200 species in the family. Croat's studies in Central and South America show that future priorities for taxonomic research with Araceae are clearly for systematic studies of the large and medium-sized genera in the neotropics, especially in South America, where the new and poorly known species often outnumber those having known names. In many areas and for most genera investigated, large numbers of novelties occur. For example, for Anthurium of Panama, 54% of the taxa were new to science (Croat, 1986a); for Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium 42% of taxa occurring in Central and South America were new (Croat, 1991a), for the revision of Philodendron subg. Philodendron of Central America (Croat, 1997, in press), 62% of taxa were new, as were 40% of Philodendron subg. Pteromischum (Grayum, 1996), and 47% of Dracontium (Zhu, pers. comm.). Thus it seems that more emphasis and manpow- er and energy must be applied to research with the Araceae of the neotropics. Our level of knowledge of the systematics of the neotropical Araceae also varies greatly from area to area, due largely to recent revisionary work or to the interest and area focused on by particular workers, e.g. G. S. Bunting in Mexico (Bunting, 1965) and Venezuela, Croat in Panama and Central America (Croat, 1978a, 1983a, 1986a, 1986b, 1988a, 1991a), and Croat and Grayum in Costa Rica. Central America is, in general, less species-rich than South America with species diversity generally increasing as one approaches South America (Croat, 1986a, 1986b). Though some parts of Central America, especially Panama, have shown unprecedented increases in the known aroid flora (Croat, 1985a), it is still much more well known than South America largely not only from the more prolonged effort by aroid taxonomists in the region but also due to the fact that some parts of Central America are much less rich in species per unit area than many parts of South America; most notably the species-rich northwestern region of that continent (Croat, 1992a). Central America Most of the earlier work in Central America was undertaken by P. C. Standley in a series of floristic works (Standley, 1927, 1928, 1933, 1937, 1944). Others who contributed to floristic surveys of Central America include W. B. Hemsley (Hemsley, 1885), and for Mexico, Eizi Matuda (Matuda, 1954; Williams, 1981; Espejo & Lopez, 1993), [Veracruz] (Sosa & G6mez Pompa, 1994). The larger genera of Araceae in Central America have already been revised. These are Anthurium (Croat, 1983a, 1986a, 1991a) and Philodendron (Croat, 1997). Other middle-sized genera have recently been revised or at least have modern revisions. These include: Syngonium (Croat, 1981b), Monstera (Madison, 1977a), and Spathiphyllum (Bunting, 1960a). Revisions of Rhodospatha for the neotropics and Dieffenbachia for Central America are be-

43 68 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 ing prepared by Croat, and one for Rhodospatha is nearing completion. However, even in Central America, some recently revised genera such as Monstera (Madison, 1977a) are now inadequate. New species, though fewer in number, are also now known fo r Spathiphyllum, Syngonium, and Anthurium, the latter two having been revised within the last 15 years (Croat, 1981b, 1983a, 1986a, 1991a). Croat is committed to complete the entire family for the Flora of Mesoamerica which will constitute a revision of virtually all the Araceae of Mexico and Central America. West Indies The fl ora of the West Indies is much less species-rich and is in general well known. Other general non-flora papers that deal with West Indian taxa include: Philodendron, (Mayo, 1981), Xanthosoma (Stehle, 1946), and the ecology and taxonomy of Trinidad Araceae (Simmonds, 1950a, 1950b; Mayo, 1986a). There are still significant taxonomic problems with some species of Anthurium in the Lesser Antilles. One of the most troublesome aspects of taxonomic studies in the West Indies is that the type specimens are either inadequate (need epitypification) or completely lacking all together (need neotypification), due to the fact that this region was among the first areas in the neotropics that was botanized. South America While the aroid fl oras from some pal1s of South America, especially the Amazon basin, are reasonably well known, the species from the lower slopes on either side of the Andes and especially those species along the western slopes of the Andes in northwestern South America, are very poorly known and 50% or more of their species are new to science (Croat, 1985e, 1992a, 1995b). Some areas fo r which floristic surveys have been conducted in the past 30 years are relatively well known. This is especially true of Venezuela, where extensive work has been done, especially by G. S. Bunting (Bunting, 1975, 1979, 1986a, 1988, 1988a, 1989) and also by Croat & Lambert (987). The Venezuelan fl ora contains 266 species and an additional 25 subspecies or varieties. The Guiana region is relatively well known at least in part because it is relatively species-poor rather than because of the extent of the collecting efforts. Suriname was, until recent years, the only part of the Guianas that received much attention in regard to Araceae, and largely due to the work of Jonker-Verhoef & Jonker (1953a, 1953b, 1966, 1968a, 1968b) in Suriname. Recently, the w hole region is receiving more attention because of work on the flora of the Guianas project and to the Araceae treatment being carried out by Croat. There are an estimated 121 species in that fl ora. In addition, Bunting (1995) has completed the Araceae treatment for the Flora of the Venezuelan Guyana, the Venezuelan counterpart of the Guianas fl ora. This fl ora treats 19 genera (including Urospathella G. S. Bunting considered by some as a synonym of Urospatha) and 177 species. Another example of a relatively well known area is the state of Bahia in Brazil where Simon Mayo and other members of the Kew Garden staff, especially R. Harley, have made a number of expeditions and are heavily devoted to the fl oristics of the state (Harley & Mayo, 1980; Mayo, 1984). Mayo has also prepared a revision of the Araceae of Bahfa (Mayo, manuscript) and a checklist for all of Brazil. Any reference to the number of species in Brazil for any genus discussed in this paper relies heavilyon this unpublished work. Mayo has also worked closely w ith many Brazilian botanists to encourage their participation in work with Araceae of Brazil (Mayo & Nadru z, 1992; Catharino & Olaio, 1990). Parts of southern South America are by now also well known and fl oristic treatments have been prepared for Argentina (Crisci, 1968, 1968a, 1971) and Paraguay (Croat & Mount, 1988). A fl oristic treatment has also been completed for the state of Santa Catarina (Reitz, 1957). The Flora of Peru (Macbride, 1936), though falling short of giving an accurate

44 THOMAS B. CROAT, picture of the species count for Peru, does come close to indicating the number of species actually described for Peru, since, except for Anthurium sect. Pachyneurium (Croat, 1991a), few groups have had many species described from Peru since Mac Bride's publication (Macbride, 1936). A more accurate accounting of the number of species of Araceae in Peru is published in the Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Gymnosperms of Peru (Croat, 1993). Though not a thorough revision of the species occurring in the country, this list takes into account all species of plants described for Peru as well as all species represented only by herbarium specimens that were able to be verified by experts for each family. The checklist contains 210 species of Araceae for Peru but does not include any unpublished names. Many new species remain to be described. While there is no completed Araceae treatment for the flora for Ecuador, a recently published checklist for the Amazonian lowlands (Renner et al., 1990) listed 92 species of Araceae (a few of them undescribed) and gave some indication of the species diversity of that part of Ecuador. Unfortunately the Amazonian lowlands represent one of the most speciespoor portions of the country if its area is taken into account, due to the widespread nature of the species in that zone. A checklist for the entire flora of Ecuador is being prepared by Peter Jorgenson at the Missouri Botanical Garden. Croat will be responsible for writing the checklist of the Araceae treatment. The lowland Amazon basin is also relatively well known, principally because of the fact that the species inhabiting the Amazon lowlands are normally wide-ranging and often common species. The vast Amazonian region lying between the Atlantic coast and the foothills of the Andes has moderately few, mostly wide-ranging species. Species diversity increases dramatically as one approaches the foothills of the Andes in the west. Species occurring on the lowermost slopes of the Andes tend to range widely in a north-south direction, often from Colombia to Bolivia and thus tend not to be endemic. However, some of the species of this region are currently believed to be endemic. The degree of endemism increases as elevation rises on the slopes of the Andes and as the terrain becomes more dissected with river valleys (Croat, 1994c). To the east of the Amazon basin, especially in the Guiana Highlands and in eastern Brazil, from the state of Bahia south almost to Uruguay, the rate of endemism is much higher. Nearly all the species occurring in this region are endemic to eastern Brazil, and few range into the Amazon basin. Though many species were described from eastern Brazil, by early aroid specialists, including Schott, K. Koch, and En-" gler, based on the early collecting efforts by botanists such as Glaziou, A. F. Regnell, Riedel, and others, these areas remain poorly known, especially because of the taxonomic complexity in such groups as Anthurium sect. Urospadix Engl., which dominates the area. Perhaps the only group of aroids well known in the region are members of the recently revised Philodendron subg. Meconostigma (Mayo, 1991a). The truly temperate parts of the continent are devoid of aroids and the subtropical portions of the continent, while containing a number of small, frequently endemic genera in the tribe Spathicarpeae, are also relatively species-poor. Species diversity is high throughout the South American Andes but especially along the northwestern slope extending from Choco Province in Colombia and on both the eastern and western slopes in the Andes in the region of the equator and on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Peru. Species diversity is also relatively high in the Cordillera de Merida of western Venezuela but remarkably less so in the northern part of the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia and on the entire western flank of the Eastern Cordillera in Colombia (Croat, 1992a). Species diversity is also relatively low in the Central Cordillera of Colombia. High species diversity is correlated with

45 70 AROIDEANA, Vol. 21 high precipitation and with the absence of prolonged dry seasons. Species richness is greatest between sea level and middle elevations to about 1,500 meters. While some species may range to about 3,750 m, diversity drops off dramatically above 2,000 m. Seasonally dry areas, such as the central plateau of eastern Brazil and the lower Amazon basin, are relatively species-poor as are the generally treeless llanos of Venezuela. Endemism is also especially high in the Andes of western South America, including the eastern range of the Andes that extends into Venezuela. Endemism is also high in the Guiana Highlands and in parts of North America, especially in Mexico and in lower Central America, in Costa Rica, and Panama. For example, Mexico, with 41 taxa of Anthurium has 26 endemic taxa. Guatemala has only three endemic species. Honduras and Nicaragua each have a single endemic species. Costa Rica has 68 taxa with 22 species endemic, and Panama has 150 species of which 82 species, 55% of the total, are considered endemic. Because of the high rate of endemism and the very high speciation in many parts of the Andes, our taxonomic knowledge of all but a few areas of the Andes is poor. Although selected areas of the Colombian Andes, such as the region of Popayan in Cauca Department, the departments of Antioquia, and the department of Cundinamarca, especially around Bogota, were well collected in the late nineteenth century by collectors such as Lehmann, early enough to have their material included in the revisions of both Schott (860) or Engler 0905a), many areas had not been collected until recent times. Pichincha Province and a few other areas of Pacific coastal Ecuador were well collected by L. Sodiro (Sodiro, 1901a, 1901b, , 1903, 1905a-c, 1906, 1907, 1908a, 1908b) and 257 species (including 281 taxa) were described. Despite this, the region remains poorly known, largely because of the inability to locate and study his widely scattered and poorly documented collections. Some Sodiro specimens are deposited in European herbaria (Croat, 1991) but most collections are deposited in the poorly curated herbarium (QPLS) of the monastery in Quito, where Sodiro originally worked. The collections may not be borrowed and the conditions in the herbarium make their study there very difficult (Croat, 1991). Nevertheless some recent attempts at revisionary work have taken place in Ecuador in Pichincha Province. Floristic surveys of the Araceae have been made of the Reserva ENDESA on the western slopes of Volcan Pichincha (Croat & Rodriguez, 1995). This work, begun by Jimena Rodriguez de Salvador while a student at the Universidad Catolica in Quito, was subsequently augmented by investigations by Croat. Other florulas are also being prepared as well and a comparison of six different florulas in Ecuador has been completed (Croat, 1995b). A genus by genus account of the taxonomic status of neotropical genera and a discussion of poorly known floristic regions in the neotropics has been published elsewhere (Croat, 1994c). MOST POORLY KNOWN FLORISTIC REGIONS Certainly among the richest areas on earth for Araceae are the Chocoan lowlands in northeastern Colombia and the western slopes of the Cordillera Occidental. Certain small parts of this area have been reasonably well collected and other portions such as the Pacific slope of Cauca Department have scarcely been touched. The flora seems to be largely endemic and the number of undescribed species in the flora is astonishing. Other regions which are still poorly known are the western slopes of the Cordillera Oriente in Colombia, eastern and western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes, especially in the northern part of the country, the eastern slopes of the Andes in southern Peru, especially in Zamora-Chinchipe and far northern Peru, especially in the Department of Amazonas. All species in these areas are likely to be poorly known.

46 THOMAS B. CROAT, Taxonomically, the two largest genera, namely Anthurium and Philodendron, pose the largest difficulty. However, other genera such as Monstera and especially Stenospermation pose major taxonomic problems also. In addition, Monstera, though revised recently (Madison, 1977a), appears to still need taxonomic work, especially in South America. Ditiffenbachia is being revised for Central America but remains very poorly known in South America. Both Heteropsis and Urospatha, though relatively small genera, are in need of revisions. Even Spathiphyllum, revised by Bunting (Bunting, 1960a) is in need of another revision. CONCLUSION The Araceae, though the active subject of research by many botanists since the time of H. W. Schott, is still one of the most poorly known plant families. While considerable efforts are still needed to complete a revision of the Araceae of Asia, even more research is needed in the neotropics. While the family is reasonably well known in Central America and the West Indies, it remains poorly studied in South America, especially in the region of the Andes. The current large team of scientists and the ever growing student population as well as the increased public interest in the horticulture and systematics of the family bode well for the ultimate goal of more completely understanding this remarkable group of plants.

A great deal of credit for the end product in this document goes to Alistair Hay who provided much information about Asian localities, Asian collectors and new specialists in Araceae from that region and also gave useful advise for improving the manuscript. In addition, a number of references were obtained directly from his massive botanical bibliog- raphy of the Araceae of Malesia, Australia, and the tropical western Pacific region published in Blumea (SuppI. 8). Special thanks also goes to Dan Nicolson for his meticulous editing, for correcting the German text, adding many references, for correcting references and for his generally wise advise for improvements. Richard Mansell also carefully edited the entire manuscript and made useful changes. Others who edited this work include: Josef Bogner, Peter Boyce, Simon Mayo, and Wilbert Hetterscheid. Thanks to all of you for your much appreciated efforts. Profound thanks goes to Petra Malesevich without whose constant help the project could not have even been begun. Its completion owes much to her many hours spent on all aspects of the project. LITERATIJRE CITED Acevedo-Rodriguez, P Araceae. In Flora of St. john, Mem. New York Bot. Gard. 78. Adams, C. D Araceae.
