RE: [Aroid-l] Philodendron Help

From: "Tom Croat" <Thomas.Croat at mobot.org> on 2007.01.01 at 23:23:19(15032) Dear Harry: Both are Syngonium, most likely S. chiapense. It is true that Syngonium macrophyllum has entire, ovate blades when quite juvenile but those leaves are sort of subrounded. I am not sure what the intermediate forms are but the adult blades are more like the plant in the background of your image. Tom +More Tom Croat, P. A.

Looks correct to me but I would not have guessed it. http://www.aroid.info/gatunki/syngonium/syngonium_macrophylllum.html Harry Witmore Cloud Jungle Epiphytes www.cloudjungle.com From: aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com [mailto:aroid-l-bounces@gizmoworks.com] On Behalf Of Harry Witmore Sent: Sunday, December 31, 2006 1:25 PM To: 'Discussion of aroids' Subject: [Aroid-l] Philodendron Help I know you folks get tired of seeing these post for id's but it sure does help get the expertise of such a large group of experts. So, now that I have sufficiently buttered you all up. I have a couple here I don't have names for. This one looks allot like your regular scandens but has the unusual leaf coloration as well as the more mature leaves begin to the shape seen in the picture http://www.cloudjungle.com/CloudJungle/Araceae/Philodendron/Philodendron_unk3.jpg This one has a rough texture to the leaf which gives it a sort of velvety appearance http://www.cloudjungle.com/CloudJungle/Araceae/Philodendron/Philodendron_unk4.jpg No, flowers have been seen in either and I suspect both are still immature.
