IntroductionSee
Arales for further descriptions.
Plant theoryIn the
Plant theory is split off from
Alismatales.
Araceae is placed in the Subclass
Aridae, which has a
Carbon series quality.
Aridae is the second subclass in the Class
Lilianae which has a
Silicon series quality.
Araceae is the only member of the
Aridae. This makes it necessary to treat
Araceae as an order, named
Arales.
Araceae and
Arales are identical in members, but not in hierarchy. The Order
Arales then is split into 7 subfamilies of
Araceae. These subfamilies are treated as Families. This way
Araceae becomes a superfamily, which is not further described, as the order
Arales takes over that function.
