Hi

I am a writer specialized in chocolate and keen on plants. I make an incursion in the flowers the most illustrated in meso-american iconography and I am trying to identify the philodendron of codex badianus. Is it a saggitifolium (alias sanguineum) despite her leaves are indented or a melanochrysum but the inflorescence is not red ?

Thanks for your help and advice

The leaves speak for a stylized Ph. verrucosum, but the colours of the inflorescence are exchanged - the spadix is red

Thanks Marek for your answer. i was thinking of melanochrysum because of this photo from the kew gardens that I found on the web. What do you think. Is the first one a verrucosum one ?

Valentine,

My reaction would have to be that neither of these leaves represents a Philodendron, and only the right one with the more matte finish leaf could somewhat be considered a climber. Of course the other challenge is that the plant you have illustrated has what
must be roots but certainly look more like tendrils, not a characteristic of aroids. There are definitely some interpretive aspects to the original drawings no matter what direction you go. Good luck.

My apologies - I was not familiar with this Philodendron at the more mature stage - I was thinking that the leaf looked more like Anthurium waroqueanum, though that's from older
recollections.
