Aroid Cultivar Registry
The International Aroid Society is the official registrar for the Araceae, with the exception of Calla L. & Zantedeschia. Click here for a list of genera.

Here you will find listings of known cultivars, listings of officially registered cultivars, and a form for submitting additional cultivars for registry.

Dr. Derek Burch is responsible for coordinating this registry, and he may be contacted here.

How to Name a Cultivar:
A useful essay on cultivar naming from the ISHS is available here.

Known Cultivars of Araceae:
Note that this is a list of known names of cultivars, not registered cultivars.

This cultivar registry is currently a work in progress. Ideally, each cultivar name listed will have information regarding who introduced it, where a description of the cultivar was first published, and other identifying information.

As a starting point, we are collecting names of cultivars which are currently in circulation and seeking comments on the lists.

If you are aware of a cultivar name in common use which is not on these lists, please e-mail Derek Burch.

Registered Cultivars of Araceae:
  • Coming soon!
Register a Cultivar:
The IAS hopes to begin accepting and publishing new cultivar registrations soon. We are currently working to be sure that our paperwork is in order and our forms are correct before we begin. Expect to see a cultivar registration form here in the near future.
