I am a member of the IAS and have been a keen hobby grower and collector of philodendrons for many years now. I can't shed much light on bac ha but I do know of a chinese green vegetable called bok choi - I guess the bac/bok part may be a standard prefix for leafy greens. Anyway if you have an interest in aroids ,especially philodendrons I"d be pleased to hear from you kind regards Neil Crafter
