Beschreibung
A detailed and fascinating look at the Araceae family of flowering plants.
“As the result of his visits to nurseries and horticultural establishments, the writer was impressed by the intense interest in and the lack of information about this horticulturally important group of plants. It is hoped that this book, will be a contribution, which is so sorely needed, to the taxonomic literature of this family.”—From the Author’s introduction.

This study was begun while the writer was a graduate student at Columbia University and completed at the University of Miami while he was a Research Assistant in Botany.
Mr. E. J. Alexander on the staff of the New York Botanical Garden has furnished much information not all of which is credited to him in the text. To Dr. T. R. Alexander, Chairman of the Botany Department, University of Miami, we are indebted for permission to use the greenhouse space for assembling the collection of aroids necessary for this study and for reading and correcting parts of the manuscript.
For most of the photography, we are in heavy debt to Stan and Jewel Soar. Unless credited otherwise the photographs are their work. The difficulties they encountered in photographing can be realized by the fact that most of the pictures were taken outside at the nurseries and not at a studio.
Any degree of completeness that the book may have is due to the many nurserymen and private individuals who have permitted us to have access to their collections and let us examine and photograph at our leisure. Mr. R. G. Wilson of Fantastic Garden, South Miami, should be given special mention as a large number of the plants were photographed at his nursery. However, our sincere thanks are also extended to the following: Mr. H. Dunaway, Mrs. N. Egeroff, Mr. A. B. Graf, Mr. D. Greer, Mrs. S. Hastings, Mr. R. Hogshead, Mr. W. Manda, Mr. S. Mauro, Mr. C. Pennock, Mr. R. Scully, and Mr. L. Whitlock, Jr.
INTRODUCTION
As the result of his visits to nurseries and horticultural establishments, the writer was impressed by the intense interest in and the lack of information about this horticulturally important group of plants. It is hoped that this book, will be a contribution, which is so sorely needed, to the taxonomic literature of this family. However, let it not be assumed that this is in any way a complete and definitive work, as the problems presented in this family are of a nature that cannot be resolved without considerably more experimental and field work. Rather, this is an attempt to review the present status of the information on the cultivated aroids and to indicate the gaps that exist in this available information.
One of the problems presented in a study of the Araceae is the lack of herbarium specimens. Scarcely any of the species treated in this book are represented in the herbaria that the writer has visited. Even those few that were available were often without the inflorescence which is necessary for identification, even to genus, and usually were poorly prepared. The poor preparation is due to the fleshy condition of the plant which does not produce satisfactory specimens by conventional drying methods.{2} As one plant explorer remarked to the author, When I am in the field, I leave the Araceae alone as they hold up my plant presses too long.
Another problem presented, although by no means confined to the Araceae (e.g. Palmaceae, Rutaceae), that complicates their taxonomy is the presence of juvenile and mature leaves in certain species. These may differ so widely in shape, size, and color that even an experienced botanist might be led to believe that they should be placed in different genera. As every grower is aware, when he propagates from the terminal growing point of a plant with mature leaves the subsequent growth will duplicate the preceding leaves. But when he propagates from lateral buds he will, depending upon the species, obtain juvenile leaves. Again, the time required for this propagation from the lateral growing point to produce mature leaves depends not only upon the species but also upon the environmental conditions. If the juvenile form is the desirable type, then the grower attempts to propagate this form by growing it in a shaded greenhouse duplicating in a measure the conditions found in the jungle. In this habitat the
