Abstract
For an understanding of the systematics ofArisaema (Araceae), the history of infrageneric classification systems and recent studies of taxonomic characters ofArisaema are reviewed. Based on morphological information, a cladistic analysis is attempted. The most parsimonious cladgrams, with 32 steps and a consitency index of 0.69, involve assumed parallelisms and reversals in several characters. Ongoing molecular systematic studies are testing the proposed systematics.
