[aroid-l] Philodendron and Anthurium queries

From: Jonathan Ertelt <jonathan.ertelt at vanderbilt.edu> on 2004.07.15 at 15:27:40(11760) Greetings. Two questions came up as a result of a recent trip through the National Aquarium in Baltimore. I received cuttings of a small rambling Philodendron aurantifolium with largish petiolar sheaths - but each entire leaf is less than 2". Should I assume that I am looking at juvenille foliage - i.e. what is Philodendron aurantifolium and how large does it get? Also, there was a smallish rambling birdsnest -type Anthurium, leaves less than two feet in length, 3" wide or so - reminded me of a small A. hookeri in appearance, or perhaps A. halmoorei only with leaf blades less wide. I didn't see the infloresence, but the infructesence is a cluster of lavender fruits. Is this enough of a description for anyone to hazard a guess as to who this might be? Any help appreciated.
