Dear Tom,
Oui, the enormous plant that we received
resembles well that which is in Exotica. I am glad to have to find his
"parents" and I want to still thank all the people who helped me
.
Respectfully,
Geneviève

Dear
Gen:
Does your plant look like the plant pictured in Exotica
III?
Tom
Dear Neil,
Thank you very much Neil for your effective
assistance. Have you information on Mr
MacNeil?
Thank you also dear Dr. Croat for your
intervention, also Hans.
I appreciates much the role of the
forum which makes it possible to exchange, throughout the whole world, our
problems with our Aroids.
Receive all my gratitude.

Hi Tom
Hope you are well. AB Graf's Exotica lists
"P. x mcneilianum (F. species no.1 x selloum), selfheading plant
with large leaves almost triangular, deeply lobed and wavy; basal lobes
staghorn-like, 'cold' resistant." F. species No. 1 is described by
Graf as "Fosters species No.1', or "P. cymbispathum according to
Barroso".
Hope this helps a little. I have a photo I can scan for you
if you don't have a copy of Exotica handy. The copies I made were from an
edition of Exotica at least 25 years old so I'd say the hybrid has been
around a fair while.
I have another reference from a botanical
encyclopaedia (unfortunately my photocopies of the Philo section didn't
record the book) that says that "P.macneilianum has
large, wavy, deeply lobed leaves broadly-tringular-ovate in outline".
It says it is of the same parentage as P. fosteranum which has parents
being P.bipinnatifidum and P. cymbispathum.
Would seem that parents
are P. cymbispathum and P. bipinnatifidum and presumably Mr MacNeil did
the crossing. The second article spells the name differently with an 'a',
and presumably this is the correct spelling. Hope this
helps
cheers

Dear Aroiders:
Has anyone ever heard of this
hybrid called Philodendron X macneilianum? It is, so far as I
know, unpublished and presumably associated in some way with someone
named Macneil. All I know about it at present is that it is being
called this in Paris. If anyone has any more direct information on
this please let me know.
