Re: [Aroid-l] Aroid-L XANADU

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2009.08.17 at 21:28:59 Only one comment Marek, and I reallywish Julius would respond because he could add so much more.  The fullyadult form is quite a bit different than the plant in your photo.  Yourplant appears to be a mid-adult.  The photo I'm posting was just takenof the specimen Julius gave me.  This is one of the plants he usedwhile writing the description that was published as Philodendronxanadu Croat, Mayo and Boos.  If you want to add it to the sitefeel free.  I have a friend in Mexico that has a near 20 year old plantgrown from seed brought from Brazil and his looks both like your plantand the one in this photo depending on the age of the blade. I'm sorry the colors are so dull but we are having a thunderstorm rightnow! Steve Lucas www.ExoticRainforest.com Marek Argent wrote: There is only one Philodendronxanadu, and it is a botanic species. Of course there may existvariegated or coloured cultivars, then their names should be Philodendronxanadu 'Cultivar Name'. Also there may exist hybrids (Ph.xanadu  crossed with another Philodendron species orcultivars). The pure species always looks likethis: http://www.wschowa.com/abrimaal/araceum/philodendron/xanadu.htm Many people still use the name Philodendron 'Xanadu', because it was described as a species a few years ago, although it has been incultivation for many more years.    Marek   --------------010006080402000005090809
