Dear Bob...my understanding is that Mayo synonymised P.mello-barretoanum under P. bipinnatifidum in his revision of the subgenus Meconostigma. As I'm at work I don't have a copy here to check but that's what my memory tells me. I have only seen photos of this plant but they do seem pretty different plants to my amateur eye. I would dearly love to obtain a plant or some seeds...any one out there who could help? I'll check with my copy of Mayo and report back tomorrow! regards Neil +More Neil Crafter Adelaide Australia Philodendron collector
