I collected P. crassinervium in 1996between Mangaritba and Angra dos Reis, R de J, Brazil in lowland more or lessundisturbed (rare!) Atlantic Forest. I do not believethat it and the P. alternans that I received from Leland areconspecific.       HEL

Tom, thanks so much for the plate. I've added it tothe page.

http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron%20crassinervium%20Philodendron%20lanceolatum.pc.html

I find it interesting Schott's plate does not appear to match your field noteson P. crassinervium or MauroPeixoto's photo.  I have three questions.  Is Scott's drawingapplicable to P. alternans or P. lanceolatum
?    And moreimportant in my mind, could Schott have described something that no longerexists in the forests of Brazil?  Or, is it possible P. alternans is truly a species since itis more often epiphytic as well as pendent while P. crassinervium is primarily terrestrial?  The plantsin my own collection appear to be different and Eduardo and Marcus have bothsaid privately they are not likely to be the same plant species.  Inaddition, notes and photos I've added to the page from Leland Miyano also atleast appear to indicate they may not be the same plant.

Input from any of our experts would be most helpful.  And by the way, I'vecopied this privately to all mentioned in this note so if any of you choose tocomment please include Aroid l when you respond.

Thanks as always!
