[Aroid-l] Aroideana

From: chammer at cfl.rr.com (Bluesea) on 2007.09.05 at 16:04:17(16217) Philodendron and anthurium were largely treated decades ago in Aroideana. I have been highly disappointed at the over-emphasis of amorphophallus and other tuberous aroids in the most recent decades, so much so that I occasionally consider canceling my membership and subscription. Sadly, aglaonema, syngonium, raphidophora, epipremnum and other genera are only occasionally mentioned these days. I guess I'm old school, I find the tuberous aroids boring and only slightly interesting. I have no clue why they have taken Society members by storm.
