Re: Philodendron identification question.

From: Neil Crafter golfstra at senet.com.au> on 2002.05.01 at 02:27:29(8693) Clarence Philodendron pastazanum (K.Krause) is a true species and the name is correct. This plant is featured in the new book on the Tropical Plants of R.Burle Marx. There is a description and photograph there. From the photograph it looks very much like a plant I have that came from Michael Pascall and labelled as P.plowmanii. Michael - any comments? Do you have this book? Its well worth having as it has a big section on Philos, some 56 pages. cheers Neil Crafter +More Adelaide, Australia.
