reddish veined Philodendron bipinnatifidum

From: Eric Schmidt <leu242 at yahoo.com> on 2004.11.17 at 14:59:27(12386) Is this Philodendron bipinnatifidum or another species? The undersides of the leaves have reddish veins. I saw these Philodendrons at Disney's Animal Kingdom last week. The red veining is very ornamental. http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/wdwplants/detail?.dir=/8d55&.dnmS1e.jpg&.src=ph Eric Schmidt +More Orlando,FL z9b __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" <edggon at hotmail.com> on 2004.11.18 at 11:41:29(12392) Dear Eric, Pinkish or redish veined (or edged) leaves are very common in both Philodendron bipinnatifidum and P. lundii. I have never seen such aspect in P. mello-barretoanum, but I am not saying that it doesn ´t exist. Anyhow, without a closer picture of the stem, I would never be able to say which species it belongs. Next time, forget the leaves (that are so variable in all species of the P. bipinnatifidum complex that cannot be used consistently) and take a close picture of the stem (to check the presence or absence of thorns or thiny scales) and check the shape of the petiole at middle (if it is flat, slightly sulcate or deeply sulcate above).
