RE: [Aroid-l] 'New' commercial aroids in pots

The second one is a patented Philo called Brazil I believe.

Subject: [Aroid-l] 'New' commercial aroids in pots

Dear Friends,

In my job I recently came across two new-to-me vining aroids grown and sold
by commercial growers in S. W. Florida, and bought in quantity in hanging 
pots/baskets by a large hotel in the area.   One has a dark, broadly cordate

purplish-green leaf w/ cream spots, but what is most remarkable to me is the
texture of the leaves, thick and almost rugose, which reminds me of 
something akin to Philo. rugosm!   I`d like to grow it to adult size!
The other has cordate leaves w/an attenuate point(long extended point or
tip), the remarkable thing is a broadish lime-green stripe down the center
of each regular-green leaf and down to the end of the long 'point' at each
leaf`s end.
Anyone (Denis, Ron, Scott??) have any idea on what genera these belong to??

Good Growing.

Julius
