Correct name for Philodendron 'pincushion'

Zach, it just dawned on my your plant might be Philodendron squamiferum due to the red pubescence (hair) on the petioles.  Take a look at the photo I attached of a juvenile specimen as well as the link below.

I recently purchased a plant labeled Philodendron ‘pincushion.’  I can’t seem to find this name listed in any of the reliable Aroid databases. The plant is very small, with leaves measuring 1-2 cm in length.  Stems are red and leaves are a dark green.  Does anyone know the correct botanical name for this plant?

 

Here is a good general picture of the plant: http://i4.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/2a/4a/24e1_1.JPG

And here’s a lousy one of my ailing specimen: http://flickr.com/photos/zdufran/3218641930/

 

Thanks-
