Journal of the International Aroid Society

Volume 2, Number 3 of Aroideana (July 1979) presents four in‑depth contributions on Neotropical aroids. Michael Madison reports field observations of aroid diversity along Brazil’s Rio Negro, highlighting habitat variation and ant‑garden associations. Thomas B. Croat examines methods for germinating Anthurium seeds, detailing protocols for handling the sticky mesocarp. S. J. Mayo and Graziela M. Barroso describe Philodendron leal‑costae, a striking new pedate‑leaved species from the granite outcrops of Bahia. Finally, Madison reviews three recent floras that advance neotropical aroid taxonomy and identification.
