Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron variifolium Schott

From: STARSELL at aol.com on 2009.11.10 at 14:40:59 Steve,   I have EXOTICA 10 and I am looking at the photo of Philodendron variifolium.   NOTHING like the link you gave.   Very hard to judge the scale, but it is shaped like the heart-leaf climbers with whiter or lighter shading between the veins.   Does that help?   Alison   In a message dated 11/10/2009 12:43:43 A.M.
