Aroideana Vol. 3 No. 4

Journal of the International Aroid Society

Aroideana Vol. 3 No. 4 (October 1980) brings together a range of investigations into the Araceae. It opens with Niels Jacobsen’s study of Cryptocoryne ferruginia’s possible tidal flowering rhythm, followed by a critical review of recent doctoral work and a monograph on aroid literature. The issue features descriptions of two new Cryptocoryne species—from Sumatra and Costa Rica—alongside R. Frank Brown’s account of wild and cultivated Aglaonema variants. Additional articles explore aroids in public aquaria and a revision of the genus Bucephalandra, concluding with concise short communications and striking cover photography.
