Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2006.05.16 at 18:06:43(14216) Dear all, Philodendron hastatum is also bluish in nature, mainly when they are young. Most individuals are less bluish when they are flowering adult individuals, but I have seen adult P. hastatum in the nature with completely bluish leaves. No need for a new name, mainly considering that it is the normal wild pattern. Adding a new superfluous name will only make people sell the same thing with a new price, unless we have plain green P. hastatum available. +More Very best wishes, Eduardo. Dr. Eduardo G.

It differs from the regular ph. hastatum in blueish leaves.

It is just a made up name for P. hastatum (P. elongatum) from the area of Rio de Janiero.

Pete From: Steve Lucas Exotic Rainforest To: Discussion of aroids Sent: Monday, May 15, 2006 11:41 PM Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Philodendron glaucophyllum P. glaucophyllum is definately a recognized specie. 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.
