My apology to all for not responding sooner. I was reluctant to respond because of taxonomic work on this subject. Things changed today after Enid quizzed me on the subject and I forwarded a photo to her. The discussion she was engaged in was in a closed Facebook page. Not only am I not a fan of Facebook. Closed Facebook pages are even worse. My intent is to drag the discussion back to aroid-l where it is available to all and a wonderful archive of knowledge. Thank you Steve.

 

The attached photo is of a philodendron I collected in Ecuador in 1996. The plant in the photo was in more shade than most of my plants and well fertilized.

Has it ever been determined which has the title of largest-leaf Philodendron?
