Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum

From: "Bluesea" chammer at cfl.rr.com> on 2006.05.16 at 04:21:55(14205) Well Steve, per our private discussion as to the true identity of the elusive species P. mandaianum, or hybrid P. X 'Mandaianum', the latter of which is pictured and described in Exotica and Tropica (Graf), and other sources as well, Tom's reply of 'no such name' is most interesting. +More I don't know where to go from here. Can anyone out there help with our dilemma. Graf describes this Philo as a hybrid, he even lists the parents as P. domesticum X erubescens, and calls it the first Philodendron hybrid in the US, 1936. Graf calls it the 'Red Leaf Philo', selected by Manda as having the darkest red coloring, perhaps from a number of seedlings from the same cross. Steve Lucas has an all green Philo that came to him named P. mandaianum. I have received an all green Philo from a separate source with this name. This cannot be the Philo Graf knew as P. X 'Mandaianum', which he described and pictured in his reference books. I'll have to find some info about the P. smithii that Tom mentions.
