The study consists of a taxonomic treatment of the Araceae of Cear\á, a state lying within Brazil\’s semi-arid region. The aroid flora shows greater similarity to those of central Brazil and Amazonia than to the Atlantic forest. Most species occur in humid forest fragments - the \“florestas serranas\”. Geophytes are also found in caatinga and dry forest (Taccarum ulei) and lithophytes on rock outcrops in dry forest (Philodendron acutatum). Floating aquatics occur in ponds and lakes throughout the state (Pistia stratiotes, Lemna aequinoctialis, Lemna minuta, Spirodela intermedia, Wolffia columbiana, Wolffiella welwitschii), and freshwater helophytes (Montrichardia linifera) along river margins. 28 taxa (species and varieties) in 19 genera are described and most are illustrated: Anthurium (three spp.), Caladium (one sp.), Dieffenbachia (one sp.), Dracontium (one sp.), Lemna (two spp.), Monstera (two spp., one with two varieties), Montrichardia (one sp.), Philodendron (four spp.), Pistia (one sp.), Scaphispatha (one sp.), Spathicarpa (one sp.), Spathiphyllum (one sp.), Spirodela (one sp.), Syngonium (one sp.), Taccarum (one sp.), Wolffia (one sp.), Wolffiella (one sp.), Xanthosoma (two spp.), Zomicarpa (one sp.). New records for Cear\á are Dieffenbachia aglaonematifolia, Dracontium nivosum, Monstera adansonii var. laniata, Philodendron sp. aff. ruthianum and the naturalized exotic Typhonium roxburghii. An identification key and data on geographic distribution and conservation status are provided.

The species originally described as Caladium poecile Schott (Araceae) is here proposed as belonging to the genus Xanthosoma, as X. poecile (Schott) E.G. Gon\ç.. This new combination is based on pollen grains (shed in tetrads), together with molecular results. This is the third species of Xanthosoma known to have peltate leaves.

Three new species of Xanthosoma (X. anisotomum E.G.Gonc., X. pedatisectum E.G.Gonc. and X. rubrispathum E.G.Gonc.) and two new species of Caladium (C. intermedium E.G.Gonc. and C. amazonicum E.G.Gonc.) are described. These new species are all illustrated and compared to their closest relatives. Caladium intermedium is noteworthy in appearing intermediate between Caladium and Scaphispatha, turning the boundaries between both genera rather complex.

Two caladiums that have been widely cultivated are fully described and named as new species, together with notes on earlier confusion over their names.
