World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae (and Acoraceae)

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.
