Aroideana Vol. 10 No. 4

Journal of the International Aroid Society

Aroideana Vol. 10, No. 4 (December 1987) highlights both practical and scholarly aspects of Araceae. It opens with Dorothy E. Shaw’s tour of Brisbane’s two botanic gardens and their aroid collections. Peter C. Boyce and Simon Y. Wong & P. C. Boyce each describe new taxa—Biarum davisii subsp. marmarisensis and Arisaema agasthyanum. There is an in memoriam for Dr. Hiroshi Hara (1911–1986), detailed notes on staminate‑flower evolution in Arisaema, Helen J. Young’s field observation of scarab‑pollinated Philodendron rothschuianium, and Dan H. Nicolson’s historical survey of aroid systematics.
