Re: [aroid-l] Selloum/Bipinnatifidum

From: Susan snalice at dslextreme.com> on 2003.05.08 at 18:34:15(10220) Leslie, When I ordered philodendron from Alvim Seidel the first time, I ordered P. selloum, P. bipinnatifidum, and also P. Sao Paulo. I thought I was going to get totally different plants. I don't know if I'm right on all of this, but from what I've been able to figure out, selloum and bipinnatifidum are synonomous. I think Sao Paulo is another variety of splitleaf philodendron. However, Sao Paulo might be just another name for P. bipinnatifidum, but this is for someone else to say. This year I ordered another split leaved Pilodendron that is very similar to these three called P. lundii. I did find that P. lundii is a different 'looking' form of bipinnatifidum. Maybe more compact, bushy? Selloum/bipinnatifidum will grow into a tree form with a trunk in time. Someone else on the list might be able to clear this up. I would be interested in knowing the true facts on the splitleaf philodendrons also. Hope this helps, Susan Cox +More 5/8/03 6:15:22 AM, Leslie Georgeson wrote: >Could someone please tell me what the difference between Philodendron Selloum and Philodendron Bipinnafididum is? I ordered a packet of each type of seed, they look the same, but the Bipinnatifidum says it needs stratification before planting. When I researched these plants, they appear to be identical. So, what, exactly, do I have? Thank you! Leslie > >--------------------------------- >Do you Yahoo!? >The New Yahoo! Search - Faster. Easier. Bingo. > >
