Dear Paul,

    I think this name is a mispelling of Caladium bicolor var. 
rubicundum Engler. I was originally published in Flora Brasiliensis, 
3(2):181 and there is also a good plate of it in the same work (plate 
41). The type was collected in Northern South America (somewhere between 
Northern Brazil (state of Para) and Suriname).  

I hope it helps,

Eduardo.
