Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum

From: "Steve Lucas Exotic Rainforest" steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2006.05.16 at 03:28:52(14200) Well, I stand corrected. That's what I get for believing "reliable sources". I contacted Dr. Tom Croat today regarding this plant and my desription this is his reply: "Steve: There is no such a thing as Philodendron glaucophyllum. That was a made up but unpublished name for P. hastatum Engler, a species from the area of Rio de Janiero." Tom We are in the process of correcting our listing on my website regarding this plant right now.

I bought mine from a grower in Hawaii who had her plant identified by a recognized botanist (name well known to most people on this site, I just won't use it without his permission). You can read my description of the plant on my website at: http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron%20glaucophyllum%20pc.html I've found the plant easy to grow and easy to take cuttings as well. There is also a similar plant which is not the same specie but looks an aweful lot like P. glaucophyllum. That plant is P. elongatum and can also be found on my website. Enjoy either!

I cannot find it anywhere in taxonomic databases.
