| Summary: | Despite the considerable popularity of
Alocasia and Colocasia, the list of
horticulturally important aroid species is
overwhelmingly comprised of aroids from the
American tropics: Anthurium, Philodendron,
Dieffenbachia, Spathiphyllum, Monstera and
Caladium being pre-eminent. Paradoxically,
aside from Alocasia, species from the oldworld tropics that command horticultural
attention, and even there an attention not or
hardly addressed by the wholesale
commercial trade, tend to be those grown
primarily for the inflorescence: notably
Amorphophallus, Arisaema and Typhonium
although this in no way implies that the
foliage of these magnificent Asians is not
noteworthy. |
