The name glaucophyllum cannot be found as a Philodendron on any scientific data base. Dr. Croat spent a great deal of time helping me learn about Philodendron hastatum almost three years ago. That species if variable and has several forms often known by a variety of names. The name glaucophyllum appears to have originated with A.B. Graf, but is not a scientific name..

Marek, the plant in question is not the same as the 'glaucophyllum'-type Philo. I have both, and this plant is physically different in many ways, leaves are more narrow, silvery color is darker (more burnished), and I have never had this develop into the larger plant that the 'glaucophyllum'-type matures to which is commonly called 'Silver Sword'.
my opinion is you are right about the name not being glaucophyllum and it is a gorgeous plant.
