Re: Panama Aroid

Thanks to all for the leads. I guess I need to yank this thing from the terrarium and grow it in the greenhouse to see if it will mature a bit and maybe flower. I wish I had more information about it but I have not been able to even find out who or where it came from. Just that it was from Panama which Mike noted is not much to go on.

Dear Pete, Harry:

 

            Yes, I have commented on it.  I said that I thought it was Philodendron subgen. Pteromischum and still do believe it is that despite Mike Grayum’s belief that it might not be.  I have seen material exactly like this.  No name, of course.  Many of these buggers are new and you could never name one without flowers.

 

Tom

Hi Harry, has Tom commented on it? It's definitely NOT hederaceum/scandens/micans, which have a very short petiolar sheath and an otherwise terete petiole; the venation is wrong for Monstera

I have had another person send me a note off list saying the same thing. I haven't located a list of Philos in the subgenus yet but it helps.

 

Steve, I'm pretty sure this is not hederaceum or not like any of the many clones I have had. I haven't had any with a petiole like this one.

 

Michael, these are all the same plant although the first picture does look very much like a Monstera the rest of the plant doesn't look like any I have seen.

 

Thanks for the id's Jon and Steve. I forgot that folder existed.

Harry,

 

This looks to be a Philodendron in subgen. Pteromischum. THE expert on this group is Missouri's Mike Grayum.

 

Cheers

This plant is being passed around the dart frog hobby since it makes such a nice small aroid to grow in terrariums. It was supposedly collected in Panama but I have no other info other than that. If someone had told me it was from Asia I would say it was a species of Pothos. Any ideas on the id?
