Genera 143 Accepted species 4,506 Documented here 311 Coverage 7%

We document 311 of the 4,506 accepted species in Araceae. The rest are listed, with their authorities and their identifiers, inside their genus. They have no page of their own because we could not find three openly licensed photographs of them, and a page without evidence is not a page we are willing to publish.
