It was the other way around--Dr. Croat, who wrote the actual description of

Philodendron xanadu Croat, Mayo + Boos, decided to us the 'patented' name,

"Xanadu", as the specific name of this new Philodendron, which belongs to

the group of 'self-heading' species the Meconostigmas, since it was already

so well known and widely used in the commercial horticultural trade, where

millions are sold every year, all originating from tissue culture.

I hope that this clears things up.

Can't argue that Xanadu may be trademarked but it is also a scientific

name. You can find it on TROPICOS. I'm not sure how anyone can trademark

a scientific name.

   Dear Jani,

   I believe that Philodendron 'Xanadu" is trademarked and carefully

 'protected', at least here in Florida. I believe there is also some

sort

 of 'patent' on at least one vining Philodendron, the one w/ varigated

leaves

   (white, scarlet, green) and which 'bleeds' a wine-colored sap when cut.
   Concerning Deni Bown`s book on Aroids, I recomend it MOST highly, it

 contains a wealth of invaluable information all compiled in one source,

and

 makes for good reading also. In our world of Aroids there is nothing

else

 that even comes close. It is worth getting no matter what the price

may

   be.

   Good Growing,

   Julius

 >>Are there any other aroids which are trademarked (excluding Anthuriums

and

   >>Zantedeschias)?

 Does anybody has experience with Timber Press? Any opinions about the

Aroid

   book (anybody can respond...)?

   Bye,

   Jani
