Every genus is described and illustrated with one or more plates of line drawings by the botanical artist Eleanor Catherine, and distribution maps. Topics covered include their economic value, phylogenetic relationships, fossil history, cultivation, anatomy (by J.C. French) and chemistry (by R. Hegnauer).
Part of a series on the flora of tropical East Africa, this work considers Araceae. The flora is prepared at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in close collaboration with East African Herbarium and in liaison with the University of Dar es Salaam, the University of Nairobi and the Makerere University. Significant contributions are also made by specialists from elsewhere. The flora should be a useful reference for anyone concerned with the identification and utilization of plants in eastern Africa. Each family is published as a separate part. New parts are published annually.
This book presents a compilation of information on the taxonomy, chorology, and composition of species and subspecies of the plants under various divisions of the family of Araceae and Orchidaceae found in Siberia.
In all, Araceae contains 106 genera and 2,823 species, with a range that extends through the wet and dry tropics and north and south into temperate lands. While many genera - Anthurium, Caladium, Dieffenbachia, Monstera and Philodendron - are well documented, this extensively illustrated book represents the first full account of the entire family to appear for nearly 100 years.
... The first complete taxonomic treatment in English of the Araceae, a large plant family of 105 genera and over 3,300 species.
Includes the latest taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions and a guide to their cultivation.

A review of the Araceae of Peninsular Malaysia, including its off-shore islands, is presented as a precursor to revising the family for the Flora of Peninsular Malaysia project. The aroid flora of Peninsular Malaysia comprises 28 genera and ca 140 indigenous (of which17 provisionally accepted) with 25 species (ca 17%) endemic. Peninsular Malaysia has no endemic aroid genera. As compared to Thailand with 29 genera, ca 200 species of which 62 species (ca 30%) are endemic, and Borneo where 38 genera (of which are 10 endemic), and currently 670 indigenous species of which more than 40% are undescribed and about 95% are endemic. An historical review of Araceae research in Peninsular Malaysia, and keys to higher taxa are provided. Most genera are illustrated. Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia
