Re: [aroid-l] Selloum/Bipinnatifidum

Leslie,

When I ordered philodendron from Alvim Seidel the first time, I ordered P. 
selloum, P. bipinnatifidum, and also P. Sao Paulo.  I thought I was going to get 
totally different plants.  I don't know if I'm right on all of this, but from 
what I've been able to figure out, selloum and bipinnatifidum are synonomous.  I 
think Sao Paulo is another variety of splitleaf philodendron.  However, Sao 
Paulo might be just another name for P. bipinnatifidum, but this is for someone 
else to say.  This year I ordered another split leaved Pilodendron that is very 
similar to these three called P. lundii.  I did find that P. lundii is a 
different 'looking' form of bipinnatifidum.  Maybe more compact, bushy?  
Selloum/bipinnatifidum will grow into a tree form with a trunk in time.  

Someone else on the list might be able to clear this up.  I would be interested 
in knowing the true facts on the splitleaf philodendrons also. 


Hope this helps,
Susan Cox

they look the same, but the Bipinnatifidum says it needs stratification before 
planting.  When I researched these plants, they appear to be identical.  So, 
what, exactly, do I have?   Thank you! Leslie
