New combinations in resurrected Lazarum A.Hay (Araceae—Areae)

 

A. Hay, M.D. Barrett & W.L.A. Hetterscheid

 

ABSTRACT

On the basis of molecular phylogenetic analyses having indicated that the endemic Australian and New Guinea ‘Typhonium’ species form a non-sister clade distinct from Asian Typhonium Schott sensu stricto, and those clades displaying consistent ovule differences, fourteen species names are formally transferred from Typhonium to the genus Lazarum A.Hay, which is resurrected from synonymy.
