NEWSLETTER VOL. 23 NO. 1

A Quarterly Publication for Members of the International Aroid Society

The June 2001 issue of the IAS Newsletter (Vol 23 No 1) marks the first quarterly release since September 2000, opening with an editorial by Ron Iles that reflects on the newsletter’s role in a digital age and previews the upcoming Aroideana volume. Peter Boyce outlines the contents of Aroideana 2001. Thomas Croat recounts his productive field trip in South America, while A. Hay, J. Bogner, and Yuzammi introduce a new 222‑page revision of the Schismatoglottideae in Malesia. Subsequent articles explore the origin and hybrid potential of Alocasia cultivars, review ornamental plant breeding techniques, offer a method to assess moisture retention in potting mixes, and close with a botanical Haiku.
