RE: [Aroid-l] Philodendron ID?

Thanks for the comments Russ.  …and you don’t remember Christian being female? <smile> memory jog…

 

It is definitely not the “autumn”, “prince of orange” as I have and am growing them.  This leaf has strong puckering at the midrib and is all but pointed at the tip.

 

It is definitely considered more self-heading growth habit but given the thickness of the cane and age of this specimen, it takes on a very short internode somewhat vining habit.  The underside midrib retains the dark pink / red hue and there is evidence of pink which remains on the margin of the leaves. The underside of the leaf retains a much lighter green than the top side.

 

Hope this assists in reaching a proper ID.

 

I cannot even imagine the philodendron’s that were crossed to create this beauty!

I too thought Christian's pictures looked like one of the small hybrid self-headers like 'Autumn', 'Prince of Orange', etc.  But Christian says his Philo is a vining type.  Perhaps there is a short self-heading stem simulating a 'vine' that is confusing the issue.
