Adam:

The hardiness ratings for aroids is a list that we started for our own
information and it is revised every year, but no one has requested an
updated copy for the Aroid Society website since 2001.  If everyone
would visit the old page and send updates to our research
horticulturist, Lynn Butler at lynn at plantdelights.com, we would love to
add additional data.  Please remember our criteria...we must have exact
temperatures that the plant endured without benefit of snow cover or
extensive mulching.  Giving us your zone only is worthless, since a zone
5 gardener may experience a zone 7 winter.  I'm sure there is lots of
great feedback out there if people would please take the time to send it
to us.  The link to the posted list is
http://www.aroid.org/horticulture/hardy.html

By the way, A. galeatum shows as Zone 5 hardy on the posted list.

Many thanks.
