Once included among Araceae, now mostly separated. On the other hand, a really small aroid I have lost and would like to replace is a very small form of Acorus gramineus pusillus - unnamed small form. This typical acorus-looking plant has foliage under 1 inch in height and was perfectly hardy here outdoors like its numerous cousins. It is about 1/3 the height of the typical A. gramineus pusillus. Does anyone grow this and want to trade? Best Jim W. James W.
