[Aroid-l] Scaring systematics...

Dear scared people,
Yes, and Ruscaceae is not even included in Liliales... It is in a different
order, Asparagales!
+More
And for those that want to hear about the "latest heretic things" (most not
so latest)... Lemna and allies are aroids, Acorus is not an aroid and the
family Araceae is now placed in the order Alismatales, together with most
aquarium plants... And we have now two new aroid genera within the
Spathicarpeae: Croatiella and Incarum...
Very best wishes,
Eduardo.
