[Aroid-l] self heading Philodendron ID

From: leu242 at yahoo.com (Eric Schmidt) on 2008.01.04 at 23:07:46(16898) We only got down to 31F for an hour or so, so I doubt the plants were bothered at all. Judging from the size of the clump and age of the neighborhood they were probably planted early to mid 1970's. They would have survived the 3 big freezes in the 1980s, esp. 12/89 when there were 2 nights at 19-20F here. They probably froze to the ground as a majority of the P. bipinnatifidum and P. x evansii did at that time. I thought P. eichleri was a species not a hybrid. Kew lists it as a synonum for P. undulatum.
