Re: Philodendron crassinervium inflorescence

Friends,

P. longilaminatum is different from P. crassinervium, especially in relation to midrib and shape of the petiole. It is a species that occurs in the state of Bahia.

> Thanks Conrad.  I just checked the data bases and didn't find where Philodendron longilaminatum was a synonym but that gives me more to research!  My P. alternans is very slow to grow but once possible I'll gladly trade.  I've received quite a bit of mail from experts saying they believe Philodendron alternans is a unique species and try to post those in the article.  In time I'm sure we will find out but it might take a DNA test.  If one has been done I'd love to hear about it!
