  Re: [Aroid-l] Does anyone know this Philodendron?]
From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2009.07.16 at 12:27:30
I received this response this morning from Dr. Eduardo Gonçalvesin Brazil.  It appears this specimen is likely to be Philodendronpusillum from Colombia.  After I read Eduardo's note I checked thebase of the stem and there is some reddishness.  I've attaached thephoto.  I've also read his and Josef's published description and theplant is a very good match.

Thanks a bunch Pete!  It is great to have guys like you, Tom  and allour other botanists on the forum to help solve these mysteries!

Dear Steve,

 

        I really think thiscould be P.pusillum, from Colombia.Usually it is reddish at the base, but considering it is cultivated, alittlechange is expected.  There is another species I described (P. humile),from Brazil,that is also small (inflorescences are up to 7 cm long) but hascordateleaf-blades.

 

                                              Very best wishes,

 

                                                                   Eduardo.
