Here is the overall look of the meconostigma aroid....i just pruned it so there are less leaves, but it generally is slow growing and has less leaves than my other aroids...In this this pic, note how ALL the leaves are distorted and curved on themselves:

Here is a close-up of the stem...it does not look like P. bipinnatifidum, with its rather persistent spines..

Here's P. bipinnatifidum for a comparison:

Leland was kind enough to send a pic for people to compare with the previous pics I sent...here:

Two pics of a young leaf...below it you can see darker colored, CURLED, leathery, older leaves.

Aloha. That is definitely not Philodendron
adamantinum...compare that leaf with the scans I sent
you and also key it out using Julius Boos'
description.
Aloha,
