From: Steve at ExoticRainforest.com (ExoticRainforest) on 2008.02.08 at 21:26:44(17052) According to Joep Moonen who works botanists in the rain forest of French Guiana, Philodendron goeldii is rare. These are his comments: "In French Guyana the distribution is east from the Kaw Mountains, Comt? river towards the Rio Oiapoque. Obvious that extends to Amap? State, Brazil. In areas where the species occurs it is very rare. My specimens come from trees that are fallen and had a goeldii in the crown. The other Megonostigma, Ph solimoesense occurs al over the forested areas of the Guiana Shield and is less rare but never common. Like goeldii you see them, the big stems often pendant! or curving, in the canopy."

From: aroidgrower at verizon.net (John Ludwig) on 2008.02.08 at 22:07:38(17053) I am not sure exactly how rare this Philodendron is, But I have seen this seller on eBay list this species before. They had a starting bid of $99.00 on that previous auction as well. I was tempted to place a bid because I didn't know of another source, but didn't.

From: lbmkjm at yahoo.com (brian lee) on 2008.02.08 at 22:23:42(17054) Dear Cyndi, Aloha. I have seen this plant on Oahu being sold as houseplants at our hardware store...it was under $10...I have not purchased one myself, since I tend not to collect hybrids. I have seen it sold under Philodendron 'Fun Bun' and also Philodendron 'Funny Bunny'...I could not tell you if these are the same...they both look like compact selections of Philodendron goeldii crosses to me. The plants being sold locally have printed labels and, other than that, I really could not tell you the history of this plant or if it will eventually grow as large as the species. I remember when Philodendron goeldii was called Thaumatophyllum sprucei... someone tissue cultured it and it was marketed under the name Philo-scheff on Oahu...a reference to Philodendron and Schefflera...

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2008.02.08 at 23:57:52(17055) Hello, This is probably a Ph. goeldii cultivar, don't buy cultivars, only pure species are worth for true aroiders.

From: Cyndikrall at aol.com (Cyndikrall at aol.com) on 2008.02.09 at 20:39:46(17060) Thank you all for your opinions on this plant. P. goeldii (the species) is one of my personal favorites. I have a small one now (I lost some large ones when I had an illness) and I'm always on the lookout for a larger specimen. Not interested in the hybrids either. :-) Thanks again!

From: Cyndikrall at aol.com (Cyndikrall at aol.com) on 2008.02.09 at 20:41:47(17061) Now I'm wondering if my seedling is the true species or not.
