Since I began this discussion on my own website I've been hit with a fair
number of emails telling me I'm "dead wrong" and Philodendron panduriforme
is just an old name for Philodendron bipennifolium. Others try
to tell me the plants are almost identical with the exception that P.
panduriforme has rounded upper lobes and P. bipennifolium has pointed
upper lobes. And still others helped point me to the correct answer.
I've spent quite a bit of time corresponding with a number of experts and
today recieved from Julius Boos in West Palm Beach a copy of volume 9 of the
International Aroid Society's journal, Aroideana. In that journal is a photo of
the the real Philodendron panduriforme taken by Dr. Croat.
If you wish to see photos of both species and read all the information I've collected so far click on this link. http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron%20bipennifolium%20pc.html Sometimes old beliefs die hard among plant collectors! Steve Lucas
