Re: [Aroid-l] aroid identification - Spathiphyllum

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at gmail.com> on 2015.05.03 at 03:57:09 To quote the APG website - my italics:=C2=A0The old Spadiciflorae included those taxa with a spadix and often also a spathe. Families included, Pandanaceae, Cyclanthaceae, Araceae and Arecaceae, are now placed in three immediately unrelated orders, Pandanales, Alismatales and Arecales. Engler (1892) linked Pandanaceae, Arecaceae and Cyclanthaceae. ps Aroids are in Alismatales; Arecales is the order that includes the Palms.
