Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron hybrid

Dear All,
Aloha.
Bob See was a dear friend of the late Betty Ho, of Honolulu. She often visited Bob in Florida and she was a regular traveler to Asia, especially the Philippines. Betty was a close friend of mine and she and I traveled to the Philippines and Brasil with Roberto Burle Marx. On the Luzon trip, we had some incredible adventures, but, I will save that for the future. In the Philippines, we saw many new Philodendron hybrids. Thailand and Vietnam also had some incredible new plants that were imported. I have seen similar hybrids to this plant in Asia, but, I could not say if this was an import from those days. There is that possibility. I was never much into hybrids, so I am not the best judge of these, but, in days past, information was spare and often we collected without prior knowledge of what we all were seeing. I collected under several botanical gardens and most of my material is deposited in those living collections.
Aloha,
Leland

I first saw the plant at both Ron
Weeks nursery and Tricia Franks home.
Tricia gave me a nice large top cutting off her plant. I then
tracked down it had been breed by Bob See. I was unable to find
any info on the breeding of the plant or if he had put another
name to it. So I sold the plant as Philo Bob See hybrid for many
years. If I were to guess. I would think the plant was a hybrid of
Philo lacerum or radiatum crossed with something with a narrower
leaf maybe subhastatum or such. Just a guess on how it might have
been made.

Dear Tom, Thanks for your response to my post. Well having grown Pluto in the 70s and 80s
I would say definitely not, despite similarity of leaf shape.
I seem to remember Pluto as being of a burgundy hue, also. I know nothing of the parentage of Bob
See=E2=80=99s hybrid. I wonder if there is someone who does? John Banta, perhaps? John.
Dear John: Was
this what was known commercially as Philodendron =E2=80=9Cpluto=E2=80=9D? Tom
We were recently discussing those plantsmen
who have contributed to the richness of our plant scene today,
and I mentioned Bob See of South Florida. Here are photos of the hybrid philodendron
he created. It is very slowly vining. This specimen was
grown in shade but in sun it could vine even more slowly and
be more chunky. John Criswick. _______________________________________________
