From: Steve Marak samarak at gizmoworks.com> on 2006.07.10 at 05:54:52(14402) Aroiders, I'm forwarding the post below from Steve Lucas that was accidentally sent to the wrong gizmoworks address several days ago. Steve (Lucas), after my note to you I found the image and managed to get it - I hope - attached to the message.

Can you see it gets up so I can try to find some information about Philodendron stenolobum? Thanks!

I understand it is a Brazilian specie but I can't find much about it. Especially interested in how large the leaves will grow. This is the information I've uncovered so far: Some sources say this is a hybrid plant. Both TROPICOS (Missouri Botanical Garden) and the International Plant Names Index show it is a specie from Brazil so I will treat it as a specie. The plant has long wavy narrow leaves. There are at least two variations of the specie and one (not the variety shown in my photo) has much narrower and extremely wavy leaves. This plant is a self header and is not a climber. Some consider it a "tree Philodendron" that develops a thick "trunk" as it grows. I am unable to find a technical scientific description on any of the normal sources so I have no idea how long the leaves will get but I'm told they will reach close to 30 inches. At one time P. stenolobum was thought to be a more narrow form of P. williamsii but is now recognized as a separate species. I'm attaching a photo. Thanks!
