Someone contacted me privately and asked me to keep it simple and post what
"aroid" translates to. In the sense of Theophrastus, who first published the
name aron (= Dracunculus vulgaris) in his The History of Plants it means:
Aroid = aron + oides = resembling Dracunculus vulgaris (not lily or
trillium). WGS
