Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron stenolobum

From: "Russ" chammer at cfl.rr.com> on 2005.07.03 at 04:39:04(13109) Understood regarding the many forms of P. stenolobum. Obviously, those examples in submitted photos here whether smooth or ruffled edged, are stenolobum. While Eduardo's piece in Aroideana 25 was enlightening, the questions presented here were not clearly answered to the layman. It is a scientific presentation, hence, the postings. I'll try to find the confusing philo I'm referencing and take some pictures to submit. While it was sold by IAS members at Fla west coast botanic gardens as 'williamsii', it is certainly not the rare williamsii, and I'm doubting it's one of the stenolobum group. The leaf is triangular but lobes not narrow. It has an obvious lack of dark green color that is confirmed by Eduardo as typical of stenolobum, and lacks the stiff, leathery consistency I observe on my own stenolobum. Are these disqualifying factors without going into gynoecium, styles, ovaries, etc?
