Philo. torturom ?

From: "Julius Boos" ju-bo at email.msn.com> on 2002.01.27 at 16:58:54(8075) Dear Michael, The BEAUTIFUL plant in the photo you so kindly sent to me sure looks EXACTLY like the fine leaf/fern leaf var. or form of Philodendron tortum Mayo & Soares (in press) that we have been having so much fun with on the aroid list! When you speak with or see Neil, ask him to check for the large, unmistakable curved 'claw' at the base of the leaf. I`d also be curious if that adult plant is now in bloom like all the adult plants seem to be here in the USA, or if perhaps it has managed to change it`s blooming 'cycle' because of being 'down under'. I do not believe the number of leaflets really are important, I can count about 12 or 13 per side on a couple leaves in your photo, and this matches the number of leaflets I`ve sen on all adult plants of BOTH forms. Unless you 'scream' I'm going to try to have this photo posted on a web site, I believe it and others I`ve received may be of interest to some members?? Thanks again for sharing this with me! Sincerely, Julius +More >>Julius , here is a pic of what we have been calling P.'Elegantissima' have discussed this with Neil Crafter who has lots of reference material on Philois. Will check some of the mature plants we have and count leaflets and measure infl . get back to you , with details . Michael Pascall<<
