Just a note from a 'non-Philo.' person---a couple years ago I was asked by a
friend who owns a BIG commercial nursery to help ID a beautiful Philo. that
he had lots of plants of, someone had collected in E. Ecuador.   I sent
photos to Dr. Tom Croat at MOBOT, and he very kindly I.D.`d it as the
species being discussed!    The name of the Nursery is 'Boynton Botanicals',
Mike is the owner.

Philodendron pastazanum (K.Krause) is a true species and the name is
correct.
This plant is featured in the new book on the Tropical Plants of R.Burle
Marx.
There is a description and photograph there. From the photograph it looks
very
much like a plant I have that came from Michael Pascall and labelled as
P.plowmanii. Michael - any comments? Do you have this book? Its well worth
having as it has a big section on Philos, some 56 pages.
