Hi Leland,
It does look like there is a small mystery about it as well - and I had thought it was pretty clear cut that the Disney corporation had a hand in its creation, and that Bill Evans had used P. speciosum and P. bippinatifidum (because it certainly looks like evansii looks like a cross between the two)....

Dear Arlan,
Aloha...good to hear from you.
Congratulations in advance for working on the Meconostigma
site. I do not know
much about
hybrids...Julius or Ron can comment much more on the history and
parentage of the crosses. Philodendron x evansii... Derek Burch may be able to
comment on this name...
I am looking forward to the revised site... and I'll be happy to help if I
can on the species.
Aloha,
Leland
