Hello Julius,
Not only Syngonium species are heteroblastic, you can
observe it in many species of Philodendron and tuberous aroids where adult
leaves are different from the juvenile ones.
For example see my Syngonium (I still don't know what
species may it be, most people suggest this is a cultivar of S. podophyllum, but
it can be also S. hoffmanni - its juvenile leaves are sagittate and
white-veined, the adult ones are 3-lobed with 2 small posterior lobes ("ears"),
but never they are 5 or more lobed like in a typical S.
podophyllum)

Boyce.
Dear all Aroidophyles,
A note to all who read this L,
and a word of sincere thanks to Pete for this one! I wonder how many of
us stopped for just a moment to ponder (and be VERY thankful!!!) of how VERY
fortunate we all are to have THE world experts at most or ALL families of
Araceae, people such as Peter Boyce (Indonesia), Wilbert Hetterschied
(Holland), Tom Croat (USA), Eduardo Goncalves (Brazil, Alistair Hay
(Australia) and even Simon Mayo (UK) and this leaves out MANY other
individuals who take the time from their busy schedules to answer querries
made to this forum! I know a little about Syngonium, but certainly did NOT
know about this retention of one leaf-shape (Heteroblasty!) through the
growth-cycle of this Syngonium species! On behalf of the IAS, a heartfelt
word of thanks to you guys/experts out there! Now go ahead and join the
IAS, we SO need your financial support!!! :--)
Julius
Boos.
