Re: Philodendron sp., Atlantic forest, Northeastern Bahia, Brazil


Dear Alex,

a hemiphyte with 'fiberous' stem and assymetric juvenile leaves.

it looks a lot like Philodendron fragrantissimum.

the petioles are a bit thin, but this can be influenced by light conditions.

P. fragrantissimum in Brazil is known from the states of Roraima and Amazonas.

if not this species, it is closely related.                  Joep
