RE: [Aroid-l] Philodendron ID?

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2006.05.24 at 14:58:47(14304) Dear Steve, As Julius already pointed out, it is a Philodendron from the subgenus Meconostigma (self-heading Philo), like P. bipinnatifidum (including "selloum"), P. mello-barretoanum, etc. In my opinion, it is a dwarf form of a regular species with bipinnatifid leaf blade (P. mello-barretoanum, P. lundii or P. bipinnatifidum). I couldn't see the squamules (small persistent or deciduous thorns within leaf sheath) in detail at the stem, so I don't know exactly from which species this misfit came. If I had a closer picture of the stem, I can say exactly from which species it came. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Dr. Eduardo G.

Date: Fri, 19 May 2006 17:00:57 -0400 Hello all I purchased a nice probably very common Philodendron at a master gardener's plant sale this weekend for $6.00 and I was hoping someone might be able to help me give it a name. Attached are some pics. There is a dollar bill to show the size of the largest leaf. It was growing on a sun porch and the person said she has had it for 3 years and it had only one leaf when she got it. Thanks Steve -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
