RE: [Aroid-l] Philodendron ID?

Dear Steve,

As Julius already pointed out, it is a Philodendron from the subgenus Meconostigma (self-heading Philo), like P. bipinnatifidum (including "selloum"), P. mello-barretoanum, etc. In my opinion, it is a dwarf form of a regular species with bipinnatifid leaf blade (P. mello-barretoanum, P. lundii or P. bipinnatifidum). I couldn't see the squamules (small persistent or deciduous thorns within leaf sheath) in detail at the stem, so I don't know exactly from which species this misfit came. If I had a closer picture of the stem, I can say exactly from which species it came.

Very best wishes,

Eduardo.

Hello all



I purchased a nice probably very common Philodendron at a master gardener's
plant sale this weekend for $6.00 and I was hoping someone might be able to
help me give it a name. Attached are some pics. There is a dollar bill to
show the size of the largest leaf. It was growing on a sun porch and the
person said she has had it for 3 years and it had only one leaf when she got
it.



Thanks Steve
