Re: [Aroid-l] Does anyone know this Philodendron?]

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2009.07.16 at 12:27:30(19544) I received this response this morning from Dr. Eduardo Gonçalvesin Brazil. It appears this specimen is likely to be Philodendronpusillum from Colombia. After I read Eduardo's note I checked thebase of the stem and there is some reddishness. I've attaached thephoto. I've also read his and Josef's published description and theplant is a very good match. Thanks a bunch Pete! It is great to have guys like you, Tom and allour other botanists on the forum to help solve these mysteries! Steve Lucas HTML +More www.ExoticRainforest.com Dear Steve, I really think thiscould be P.pusillum, from Colombia.Usually it is reddish at the base, but considering it is cultivated, alittlechange is expected. There is another species I described (P. humile),from Brazil,that is also small (inflorescences are up to 7 cm long) but hascordateleaf-blades. Very best wishes, Eduardo.
