I will be traveling in Venezuela in January, and would like to know which
Aroids are likely to be in bloom there at that time. I will be first in
Merida State, visiting paramo and cloud forest habitats, then will go into
Barinas State, to the Caparo Forestry Reserve, which is a dry forest
habitat.
Is anyone familiar with the Venezuelan aroid flora?

Dear Jason,
You need to immeadiately purchase a copy of Aroideana Vol. 9, (1-4) 1986,
"The Araceae of Venezuela" by Dr Thomas Croat. Everything (or most) of what
you need/want to know is in it. Contact-- The International Aroid Society,
c/o this forum. You also need to join the Society if you are already not a
member!
Cheers,
Julius
