Background The velamen radicum, a spongy and usually multiple-layered root epidermis
composed of dead cells at maturity, is a textbook example of an adaptation that is typically …

Premise Recent phylogenetic studies of the Araceae have confirmed the position of the
duckweeds nested within the aroids, and the monophyly of a clade containing all the …

The subfamily Pothoideae belongs to the ecologically important plant family Araceae. Here,
we report the chloroplast genomes of two species of the subfamily Pothoideae: Anthurium …

This study presents an evaluation of the currently accepted sectional classification of the
genus Anthurium Schott (Araceae) in light of a recently published molecular phylogeny for …

The last decade has seen many changes in research with neotropical Araceae. There have
been a lot of revisionary efforts especially with smaller genera but relatively few changes in …

Abstract The subfamily Monsteroideae (Araceae) is the third richest clade in the family, with
ca. 369 described species and ca. 700 estimated. It comprises mostly hemiepiphytic or …

Molecular studies have recently shown that a predominantly Mexican clade of Anthurium
Schott species with ovate-cordate to ovate-sagittate leaf blades with glandular punctations …

Premise of the Study Philodendron is a large genus of~ 560 species and among the most
conspicuous epiphytic components of Neotropical forests, yet its phylogenetic relationships …

Philodendron is the second most diverse genus of the Araceae, a tropical monocot family
with significant morphological diversity along its wide geographic distribution in the …

This paper highlights the most unique characteristics of Araceae: their high species diversity,
high habit diversity, high rates of endemism, and high rates of new species discovery. Also …
