1987 10(2) 20-22 Craig Phillips Aroid profile no. 12: Monstera oblique

ABSTRACT: A small but attractive vine, Monstera obliqua is one of the more commonly cultivated monstera., at the present time. The nearly uniform appearance ofhorticulturally available plant., with their leaves highly perforated and looking as if they descended from a common ancestral clone belies the fact that in nature M.obliqua is a highly variable plant leafwise, both in size, shape, and hole pattern when present.

This article available FREE to IAS Members with a PERSONAL login. LOGIN, REGISTER or JOIN

1987 10(3) 7-10 Scott E. Hyndman The advantages of tissue culture for the aroid collector (Buy)
ABSTRACT: Many collectors express the concern that the use of tissue culture in propagating rare aroids will not only reduce the collectors' status of the plants, but also reduce their monetary worth. I have to admit that the thought of a once rare aroid mass-produced from a tissue culture laboratory and then sold at the local garden center next to the petunias and marigolds is a difficult thing to accept. But this is unlikely to happen due to the costs involved in setting up and operating a commercial tissue culture laboratory

1987 10(4) 23-30 Dan H. Nicholson History of aroid systematics (Buy)
ABSTRACT: The great aroid systematists were Schott and Engler. Schott was the first specialist but his systematic ideas were pre-Darwinian, focusing on similarities rather than possibilities of descent. Engler, for all his accomplishments, specialized in aroids and his post-Darwinian ideas dominated aroid systematics for nearly a century. Recently two systems were independently proposed. Bogner & Nicolson's is essentially a revised Englerian system. Grayum's is a totally new synthesis. The phylogeny of existing aroids will never be fully known but continuing and new work may bear on the speculations that necessarily underlie differences between the recent systems.
