[Aroid-l] Philodendron cordatum

From: "ExoticRainforest" <Steve at exoticrainforest.com> on 2008.08.16 at 22:48:57(18396) John, I just closely checked every leaf on my specimen of Philodendron cordatum and those purple/brown (nearly red) spots can also be seen on the center vein of one leaf. My guess is they develop as the plant matures. Steve Lucas HTML +More www.ExoticRainforest.com I have a Philodendron for so many years I can’t remember where I got it from. I have assumed it to be the same as the plant illustrated in Exotica under the name ‘Angra dos Reis”, a south Brazilian species. This plant is now thought to be identical to Philodendron cordatum. ‘Angra dos Reis’ means ‘King’s Cove’ in Portuguese and is the name of a coastal town southwest of Rio de Janeiro. Unlike the specimens belonging to Steve and Brian (see Steve’s page on P. cordatum) http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron%20cordatum%20pc.html , mine has red spots on the centre vein of the upper surface of the leaf. Mine has yet to develop 100% adult form, because it has lain neglected in a pot for decades. This is no longer the case ! Please see attached pictures.
