Re: Philodendron mamei , different forms ?

Dear Michael:

 

            You photo showed what appeared to be a vine.  If so I don’t see how it could be P. mamei which is always a creeping plant with the stem thickened and with short internodes. Admittedly I don’t remember what the juvenile form it but it could not be a vining hemiepiphyte.  I am currently working on a revision of the creeping group and will make a new series name to accommodate them.  There are about a half dozen or more species involved.

 

Tom

I got  a few  more lengths of stem of this sp. recently , without realizing it was different .
What I have had for ages as this sp. has very angular corners .
This new one is much more rounded , and even a slightly different colour , though this may be culture .
Also slight ruffling up at the top of the petiole, similar to P.plowmanii.
