Re: [aroid-l] New cultivated Philodendron.

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2003.01.09 at 17:48:04(9797) Dear Deni, Well, this Philodendron hederaceum with yellowish band must be P. hederaceum cv. "Brasil". In their book on ornamental plants in Brazil (Lorenzi, H. & Souza, H.M. 2001. Plantas Ornamentais do Brasil, 3ed. Instituto Plantarum de Estudos da Flora, Nova Odessa) the authors stated: (here freely translated) "This cultivar were selected in Brazil by Ruben Acosta. The cultivar `Aurea` with leaves completely yellowish... was the starting point of the selection". It has became popular in Brazil because green and yellow are the main national colors. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More I also recently bought a vining Philodendron with no label - looks like P. hederaceum (P. scandens) but has a yellowish band down each midrib. Does anyone know the name of this cv? Deni Bown _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8 is here: Try it free* for 2 months http://join.msn.com/?pageÞpt/dialup
