Re: [aroid-l] silver leaf Philo question

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2002.11.01 at 04:11:38(9595) Dear Eric, This is probably a young specimen of Philodendron hastatum, a species from eastern Brazil. The youngsters usually have a silvery color in some clones. You can check an adult plant at the Lorenzi?s book on Burle-Marx plants, page 134. Very best wishes, Eduardo. Eduardo G.
