Re: self heading Philodendron ID

Dear All,

 

          Adam Black has offered to go and visit a similar-looking specimen in Ocala, to see how it took the 20 degrees cold.

Dear Eric,

 

After tossing your photo around, some buddys and I have come to the conclusion that the plants in question are P.X "Eichelrii" (pronounced Eck-ler-ii) which together with P. X "Evansii" are a couple of the OLD Meconostigma (self-heading) hybrids made back in the 50`s (?) and 60`s.    Plants with this name are clearly pictured in old Exoticas.  It must have great resistance to cold, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could re-visit these plants now that the severe cold snap has passed and give us a report on how they fared.

 

The Best,

 

Julius
