Originally published in 1988 as the first truly comprehensive review of one of the largest and most popular plant families, "Aroids" was enthusiastically welcomed by botanists and horticulturists alike for its attention to scientific detail and delightful writing style.
Now in this completely updated second edition, we learn of discoveries made in the last decade as the family has grown from about 2500 species to nearer 3200. The latest taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions are noted in the checklist of genera, and all the original drawings are included plus twice as many color photos. A new guide to the cultivation of ornamental aroids completes this well-rounded introduction to a remarkable family.
