[Aroid-l] blushing philodendron

From: REDRAGON40 at aol.com on 2009.09.03 at 14:23:15 Awhile back I received a lot of responses about my trying to rescue a cutting that was very distressed, but despite my best efforts, it didn't make it.  I would like to locate a plant to replace it.  I am not a botanist, so please excuse my clumsy description.  When I bought it back in the sixties, it was called a blushing philodendron.  Here are some of its characteristics:   standard heart shaped leaves a little smaller and narrower than those of common plants seen in garden stores a grainy microbeaded upper surface that gives the leaves a sort of matte satin appearance maroon undersurface bronzy color of newer foliage and growing tips relatively slow growing, especially compared to my "standard" philo, which is rampant.   I would really appreciate any feedback about this plant, especially whether it is available anywhere.  I'm not an aroid collector, this is just one of my top favorite plants and I would love to have one again.
