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

From: "D. Christopher Rogers" <branchiopod at gmail.com> on 2011.12.15 at 15:00:34(22481) Dear Alan, I understand the frustration. All those Sauromatum labels that I changed to Typhonium and then back . . . Happy days!

Hi Alan, 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).] However, recent molecular analyses (e.g., Mansion et al 2008 [Systematic Biology 57(2), 269–285] have not only strongly supported that Helicodicerous is 'good' but that it is not even particularly closely related to Dracunculus, it is sister to Eminium. Dracunculus is sister to a clade comprising Gymnomesium (i.e., Arum pictum) + Arum.

Could anyone (perhaps those involved) shed any light on this rumor? If it's true I've got a lot of labels to rewrite!
