NEWSLETTER VOL. 35 NO. 2

A Quarterly Publication for Members of the International Aroid Society

This issue explores a range of aroid topics, from Scott Hyndman’s adventurous Borneo expedition—visiting Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay and summiting Mount Serambu—to the rediscovery of the rare rheophytic Piptospatha insignis in Sarawak. It introduces Dr. M. Das Sivadasan as the IAS guest speaker for Miami’s 2013 show, reflects on the weediness and horticultural quirks of popular Araceae, and presents a detailed study of Bucephalandra’s motile staminodes and their protective role for developing fruits.
