Dear Lord P,
Yes, you?re correct. Incarum pavonii was Asterostigma pavonii... And
Croatiella is a brand new genus for a not so new species... In 2002 Tom
Croat recollected Asterostigma integrifolium in Ecuador. I was suspicious
for a long time that this "Asterostigma" was not a real Asterostigma (now a
genus endemic to Brazil), but I thought it could be a second species of
Incarum. When I got DNA material, together with a close analysis of flowers
and other features, I realized that "Asterostigma" integrifolium was, in
fact, a new and somewhat isolated genus in the Spathicarpeae, only losely
related to Spathicarpa and Synandrospadix. For those wanting to see the
entire story, take a look at the article whose abstract is below:
Gon?alves, E. G.: Two new Andean genera for the tribe Spathicarpeae
(Araceae). ? Willdenowia 35: 319-326. ? ISSN 0511-9618; ? 2005 BGBM
Berlin-Dahlem.

Two unispecific Andean genera are described as new to science in the tribe
Spathicarpeae (Araceae) and illustrated, based on two species formerly
placed in the genus Asterostigma. The genus Incarum is erected to
accommodate A. pavonii that occurs in Andean Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, and
the new combination Incarum pavonii is validated. The genus Croatiella is
erected to accommodate A. integrifolium from Ecuador and the new combination
Croatiella integrifolia is validated. Incarum is considered related to the
Andean genera Gorgonidium and Spathantheum, whereas Croatiella seems to be
an isolated lineage within the core Spathicarpeae. The arguments to support
these new genera come from cpDNA sequence data, as well as from
biogeographical and morphological aspects.
Very best wishes,
Eduardo.

Hi Master of Suspense,
Incarum was Asterostigma pavonii, o.k., but what used to be Croatiella? Or
is it a totally new discovery?
Cheerio,
Lord P.
