Dear Steve,
Here is Graf’sillustration entitled P. variifolium in Tropica, 3rd edition. Itdoes not to me appear to be the same as either of the 2 plants shown in yourattachment. In particular, the brownish or reddish colouring of the emergentleaf is absent.
John.

Does anyone have acopy of the published description for
K. Krause whichis the correct name for the plant in the photos on this page. The real Philodendron variifolium looks nothinglike the juvenile plant commonly sold on eBay using the name "Philodendronvariifolium". You can see the real Philodendronvariifolium which has an elongated leaf blade on TROPICOShere: http://www.tropicos.org/Name/2103366
so if anyone hasa specimen you'll trade or sell or knows of a source please let me know.
