Abstract
In the course of preparing Index Nominum Genericorum texts for the family Araceae it has been necessary to make selections of lectotype species. The family is relatively small, and so it has been possible to make selections rather easily in most cases. The reasons for these choices are given here so that later workers can review the selections and make corrections when necessary. A few cases are particularly difficult and will be withheld until work on all generic nomenclatural problems is finished and can be published a a unit. In the meantime there is no reason to withhold what has been completed. I want to thank particularly Dr. J. J. Swart (Utrecht), Dr. F. R. Fosberg (Washington), Mr. C. V. Morton (Washington), and Mrs. M. F. Southwell (ING) for their thoughtful considerations and criticisms freely given during the preparation of this paper.
