  [Aroid-l] Origins of Philodendron x evansii
From: kalim1998 at yahoo.com (a san juan) on 2008.07.03 at 14:43:33(18061)
?Hi all,

I am reorganizing the meconostigma site so it has more articles (in english similar to the leafcutter ant site i maintain, because my malay is not deep enough to write very well in that language), and am hoping to put together a post in the meconostigma site about the origins of P. x evansii.

Here's pics of that plant:

Here is what I know, please correct me if i am wrong...
?
This hybrid is from P. speciosum and P. bipinnatifidum.
?
It was "discovered" or "created" by Bill Evans, one of the major historical figures in Disney history.

I have heard rumors that this plant has become native in certain areas, which i doubt, but you never know.
?
?If anyone has anything top add, please chirp in, I'd appreciate it. Thanks...
