Re: [Aroid-l] Araceae Juss. 1789

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2011.11.20 at 04:47:26(22337) Dear Marak: I believfe that Linnaeus did recognize the Araceae but he recognized only 4 genera, as I recall they were Pothos, Dracontium and Calla plus one other genus. The genera were very artificial and later Schott and others added many more genera, like Anthurium. All the earliest Anthurium species were described in Pothos.
