Araceae/Lemnaceae/Acoraceae

Wilbert

Thanks very much for your comments! Many folks are certainly unghappy 
about removal of Acorus from the aroids but will probably even 
less happy when they discover that we are INCLUDING the Lemnaceae in 
the aroids. Then again, nothing is new under the sun. Family 
Acoraceae dates from 1822 and Engler merged the Lemnaceae into 
Araceae as long ago as 1879.
