Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum

From: "Steve Lucas Exotic Rainforest" steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2006.05.16 at 06:49:39(14207) It seems the more I research these things the more confusing the whole thing becomes. I'm sure you've been there too, but it appears that old favorites whom I've carefully researched are falling off the shelf (name wise) in droves! Oh well, what would life be if we didn't have to keep searching and searching for a name.

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. 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.
