MONOCOTSvii: Thomas Croat Talk

A review of Taxonomic Studies in Araceae Thomas. B. Croat A review of taxonomic research with Neotropical Araceae Thomas B. Croat, Missouri Botanical Garden [email protected] Considerable progress has been made in our knowledge of the Neotropical aroids justifying a review of that information. In the Central American, all species have been fully revised with 826 species and full revisions have been published or are being published for those genera not previously revised for Central America including Monstera, Rhodospatha, Spathiphyllum, Stenospermation, Syngonium and Xanthosoma. In addition, both Anthurium and Philodendron, greatly modified since the last revision, will be republished. Lucid Keys have been completed for Adelonema, Anthurium, Dieffenbachia, Dracontium, Philodendron, Rhodospatha, Spathiphyllum, Stenospermation and Xanthosoma. Full revisions have been completed for Chlorospatha and Rhodospatha while for Xanthosoma only Brazil and the Southern Cone remain. Floristic surveys have been published for the West Indies, Central America, Argentina, Ecuador, the Guianas, Peru and Venezuela while smaller floristic studies have been made in parts of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In Brazil considerable revisionary progress has been made with Anthurium sect. Urospadix and with Philodendron. Molecular studies on Anthurium and Philodendron have been published and are being reconsidered. Considerable number of new species have been published for South America but much work remains to be finished on most South American genera, especially Anthurium, Dieffenbachia, Monstera, Philodendron, Spathiphyllum and Stenospermation.
