Eric, I had 27 in my back yard, just north of Lake Mary near I-4 and SR 46 intersection.
But I see very little freeze damage to my outdoor tropicals, so I guess it wasn't down at
the really cold temp long enough.

We only got down to 31F for an hour or so, so I doubt
the plants were bothered at all. Judging from the size
of the clump and age of the neighborhood they were
probably planted early to mid 1970's. They would have
survived the 3 big freezes in the 1980s, esp. 12/89
when there were 2 nights at 19-20F here. They probably
froze to the ground as a majority of the P.
bipinnatifidum and P. x evansii did at that time.

I thought P. eichleri was a species not a hybrid. Kew
lists it as a synonum for P. undulatum.

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

 
    

Its definitely not P. xanadu. These plants are 5-6
      

ft.
    

tall. The leaves are 2-3 ft. long.

Xanadu gone wild !   No way is that Xanadu. I
      

think it
    

resembles somewhat P. x evansii, an invalid name
      

that
    

might better be written P. 'Evansii'.  This is
      

much
    

seen in older Miami gardens, but the one in the
      

photo
    

seems more compact and in some way different.
 
John.

I found this clump of a self heading
        

Philodendron in
    

an older neighborhood. Can't tell if it is a
        

form of
    

P. bipinnatifidum (selloum) or a different
        

species
    

or
      

hybrid. Any ideas?
