TL;DR: A great diversity in chromosome numbers as well as in chromosome size and constitution is found in the family Araceae.
Abstract: The chromosome numbers of 75 species belonging to the family Araceae have been determined. The numbers for 53 species are reported for the first time. One number differs from previous reports (Aglaodorum), and one number is corrected (Phymatarum). Within 15 genera (Gymnostachys, Pothoidium, Alloschemone, Heteropsis, Holochlamys, Anaphyllopsis, Dracontioides, Pseudohydrosme, Montrichardia, Bucephalandra, Taccarum, Asterostigma, Gorgonidium, Spathantheum and Ulearum) the chromosome numbers have not previously been determined. The total number of genera cytologically investigated is now 99 (c. 94%).
A great diversity in chromosome numbers as well as in chromosome size and constitution is found. The results are discussed in relation to the phylogeny and the previously published classifications of the family.
A total list of chromosome numbers counted (>700 species) in the Araceae is presented (Appendix).

TL;DR: Phylogenetic relationships within Araceae tribe Schismatoglottideae are elucidated based on nuclear ITS and plastid matK and all necessary nomenclatural changes are made including a new generic name, Vesta to replace Hestia, which has been discovered to be preoccupied by HESTia, a fossil lycopsid.
Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships within Araceae tribe Schismatoglottideae are elucidated based on nuclear ITS and plastid matK. Thirty genera are recognised, composed of 13 pre-existing genera (Apoballis, Aridarum, Bakoa, Bucephalandra, Fenestratarum, Galantharum, Ooia, Phymatarum, Pichinia, Piptospatha, Schismatoglottis, Schottariella and Schottarum), five resurrected genera (Colobogynium, Gamogyne, Heteroaridarum, Hottarum and Rhynchopyle) and 11 new genera: Bakoaella, Bidayuha, Burttianthus, Gosong, Hera, Kiewia, Nabalu, Pursegloveia, Naiadia, Tawaia and Toga. Significant recircumscription is proposed for the pre-existing genera Aridarum, Bakoa and Piptospatha. Schismatoglottis remains imperfectly delineated despite resolution of a well-supported corpus defined by hapaxanthic stems and containing the nomenclature type. An updated taxonomic treatment is presented and all necessary nomenclatural changes are made including a new generic name, Vesta to replace Hestia, which has been discovered to be preoccupied by Hestia, a fossil lycopsid. All genera, including representatives of each clade pertinent to Schismatoglottis sens. str. are illustrated from living plants. 2017 © 2018 Dipartimento di Biologia, Universita di Firenze

TL;DR: Examination of Beccari's Microcasia pygmaea in Sarawak reveals it to be a distinct species not conspecific with Bucephalandra motleyana Schott, which is now considered to comprise five published accepted species, elucidated in a new key.
Abstract: Summary Beccari's Microcasia pygmaea has been recollected in Sarawak after almost 145 years. Examination reveals, contrary to recent taxonomic treatments, it to be a distinct species (of the genus Bucephalandra) not conspecific with Bucephalandra motleyana Schott. Microcasia pygmaea Becc. is here transferred to Bucephalandra as Bucephalandra pygmaea (Becc.) P.C. Boyce & S.Y. Wong, comb. nov. Notes on taxonomically critical morphologies are provided. Bucephalandra is now considered to comprise five published accepted species, elucidated in a new key. Notes on the taxonomy of Bucephalandra and Microcasia are given and Bucephalandra pygmaea is illustrated from living plants.
