Re: [Aroid-l] Helicodiceros moved to Dracunculus????

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at googlemail.com> on 2011.12.13 at 04:55:49 Hi Alan, =A0 Your rumour is a bit out-dated: Helicodiceros was in fact 'moved' to Dracunculus 1857! [Dracunculus muscivorus (L.f.) Parl., Fl. Ital. 2: 252 (1857).] =A0 However, recent molecular analyses (e.g., Mansion et al 2008 [Systematic Biology 57(2), 269=96285] have not only strongly supported that Helicodicerous is 'good' but that it is not even particularly closely related to Dracunculus,=A0=A0it is sister to Eminium. Dracunculus is sister to a clade comprising Gymnomesium (i.e., Arum pictum) + Arum. =A0 Pete On 13 December 2011 05:18, Alan Galloway <alan_galloway@bellsouth.net> wrote: I recently heard the rumor that Helicodiceros has been or is about to be moved into Dracunculus? Could anyone (perhaps those involved) shed any light on this rumor? If it's true I've got a lot of labels to rewrite!
