  Re: [Aroid-l] Pseudodracontium - RIP?

Dear Wilbert,

I know that taxonomic units are now conventional, everything is based on
clades,
but from the classic point of view what will be the position
or Pseudodracontium within the Amorphophallus, a subgenus or a section?

The second thing: the genus Amorphophallus is placed in the tribe
Thomsonieae,
named from a non-existing genus Thomsonia which is currently a part of
Amorphophallus.
Wouldn't it be better to rename the tribe to Amorphophalleae?
I have used the name Amorphophalleae since I started my www.araceum.prv.pl
and it seems to be logical.

Best,
Marek Argent
