  [Aroid-l] Aroid systematics
From: "Marek Argent" <abri1973 at wp.pl> on 2010.02.24 at 15:35:58(20656)
Hello,

In my site there's a page with Araceae systematics,
http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/pages/sys.htm
I think it is out of date.

Today I read a document from 2008
http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/reprint/95/12/1569.pdf
and I found there that the subfamily Monsteroideae is now tribes
Monstereae and Spathiphylleae
within the subfamily Pothoideae.

Philodendron is not in Aroideae, but in it's own subfamily
Philodendroideae (with tribes Philodendreae, Montrichardieae
and I don't know what else). Maybe Homalomeneae too?

Can anyone confirm this is true?
Where can I find an up to date systematics?

Please help,
Marek
