  Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron crassinervium inflorescence

Thanks Conrad.  I just checked thedata bases and didn't find where Philodendron longilaminatum wasa synonym but that gives me more to research!  My P. alternansis very slow to grow but once possible I'll gladly trade.  I'vereceived quite a bit of mail from experts saying they believe Philodendronalternans is a unique species and try to post those in thearticle.  In time I'm sure we will find out but it might take a DNAtest.  If one has been done I'd love to hear about it!

P. longilaminatum was a synpony

Dear Steve,
 
I've never so far had much success with P. alternans. Vegetatively, it is definitely not P. crassinervium.  I'd like to try acutting again, if you ever find a source.  And remember my dearelybeloved P, longilaminatum?  This is another one that has been sunk intosynonymy to P. crassinervium.  I despair of ever finding a source forthat one---apart from botanical gardens like Kew and Belgium, whorefuse to have anything to do with collectors like us.
 
All the best,
 
Conrad
