Dear Steve, Aloha. I thought that now would be a good time to sing the praises of my mentor, Roberto Burle-Marx. I think that many do not realize the depth of his legacy. I am just going to list plants named in his honor and then, I will list the named plants that he discovered...there are many more that are un-named. I would also like to add that many of these plants have had their habitats destroyed, so the fact that some of these are in cultivation perpetuates some of the species. Some may not be in cultivation...but I do not know the current status of many of these. Plants named in tribute to Roberto Burle-Marx: Aechmea burle-marxii Anthurium burle-marxii Begonia burle-marxii Burlemarxia pungens Burlemarxia rodriguesii Burlemarxia spiralis Calathea burle-marxii 'Ice Blue' Calathea burle-marxii 'Snow Cone' Chaetostoma burle-marxii Cryptanthus burle-marxii Ctenanthe burle-marxii var. burle-marxii Ctenanthe burle-marxii var. obscura Dyckia burle-marxii Encylia burle-marxii Heliconia burle-marxii Hohenbergia burle-marxii Mandevilla burle-marxii Merianthera burle-marxii Microlicia burle-marxii Neoglazovia burle-marxii Neoregelia burle-marxii Orthophytum burle-marxii Philodendron burle-marxii Pitcairnia burle-marxii Pleurostima burle-marxii Pontederia burle-marxii Vellozia burel-marxii Plants discovered by Roberto Burle-Marxii Aechmea correia-araujei Aechmea flavo-rosea Aechmea grazielae Barbecenia minima Calathea fatimae Calathea singularis Heliconia adeliana Heliconia aemygdiana Heliconia marie augustae Heliconia pabstii Hohenbergia edmundoi Hohenbergia lanata Neoregelia elmoriana Orthophytum gurkenii Orthophytum lymanianum Philodendron grazielae Philodendron mello-barretoanum Philodendron pulchrum Pleurostima fanni Pleurostima piquetiana Xerophyta plicata Aloha, Leland Miyano --- ExoticRainforest wrote: > I received some cuttings of this plant with the name > Philodendron burle-marxii.
