The International Aroid Society (IAS) is a nonprofit educational organization founded in 1977 and based in Miami, Florida. It is recognized as the global authority on the Araceae plant family and operates as the official International Cultivar Registration Authority. The society bridges the botanical community and tropical horticulture by providing scholarly resources and guidance on species identification and nomenclature through its peer‑reviewed journal, Aroideana, and its digital archives. Each year, the IAS hosts the Tropical Plant Expo in Miami, a major international gathering for aroids that includes lectures and workshops by botanists, a curated marketplace, and its Rare Plant Auction that supports research, conservation, and education. The organization serves career botanists, commercial growers, and hobbyists, and recent news references the scheduling of the 44th IAS Show and Sale, reflecting ongoing activity in its events calendar.
