A taxonomic revision of Araceae tribe Potheae (Pothos, Pothoidium and Pedicellarum) for Malesia, Australia and the tropical Western Pacific

“…Once this shoot begins to climb (Fig. 1B) a monopodial, leafy (shingling or not; see Madison (1977) and Boyce & Poulsen (1994)), juvenile phase develops.…”

“…Preliminary investigations of Pothos shoot architecture can be found in Boyce & Poulsen (1994), Boyce & Nguyen (1995), Boyce & Hay (1998) and .…”

“…(1753) Small to very large, very slender to robust, probably rarely secondarily hemi-epiphytic (see Croat 1990: 11;Putz & Holbrook 1986), root-climbing, homeo-or heterophyllous, tough, fibrous lianes. Shoots usually clearly differentiated into adherent, physiognomically monopodial (see Boyce 1998, Boyce & Nguyen 1995, Boyce & Poulsen 1994, Boyce & Hay 1998 non-flowering, and free, sympodial or physiognomically monopodial flowering shoots, often highly ramified, arising from the leaf axil (subgen. Pothos) or beneath it (subgen.…”

“…Shoot system weakly differentiated into adherent, physiognomically monopodial (see Boyce 1998, Boyce & Nguyen 1995, Boyce & Poulsen 1994, Boyce & Hay 1998 non-flowering shoots and free, sympodial fertile shoots, inflorescences arising from highly ramified, abbreviated shoots arising from beneath the leaf; seedling a cataphyll-bearing but otherwise leafless, photosynthesising thread-like eocaul; adult plants producing flagelliform, leafless (cataphyll-bearing), skototropic, foraging shoots; juvenile plants shingle-leaved; internodes (except at the beginning of branches) much longer than thick. Leaf blades simple, entire, narrowly lanceolate to elliptic, even-sided to slightly asymmetrical, with reticulate venation, the primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib traversed by two intramarginal veins running ± from the base and from about midway along the midrib to the apex, or first to the distal margins and then to the Fig.…”
