Presentation by Simon Mayo at the KikForum Abstract: As part of the CATE project we are developing keys in Lucid 3 to the genera of Araceae, and to the genus Anthurium (ca. 800spp.), Arum and Philodendron. The key to Arum is already online. These keys will be incorporated into a web-based taxonomic revision of the Araceae family as the plant model group for the project. Anthurium presents a particular challenge as it is a very large and difficult genus, within which it is currently nearly impossible for non-specialists to determine plants to species. We hope the key will go some way to solving this problem.

Taxonomy in public domain: published work: revisions, monographs, new species papers, flora treatments Evaluate, filter, augment with images, edit critically Upload onto Internet Edited version of current taxonomy (not a new revision!) Make the current taxonomy available on the Web Araceae Content Team Set up mechanism for regular/continuous update Involve taxonomic community: build an “institution” collectively Aggregate the taxonomic specialists Outputs on the Web Starting Point Content Team transforms into Editorial Team Build software Build software Transfer software management to Kew by project end Project software hosted at Imperial Coll. and NESC Ben Clark Updated “Consensus” taxonomy Rolling Revision
