[Aroid-l] Correct name for Philodendron 'pincushion'

From: ExoticRainforest <Steve at ExoticRainforest.com> on 2009.02.10 at 06:02:18(19071) Zach, it just dawned on my yourplant might be Philodendron squamiferum due to the redpubescence (hair) on the petioles. Take a look at the photo I attachedof a juvenile specimen as well as the link below. http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Philodendron%20squamiferum%20pc.html Steve Lucas HTML +More www.ExoticRainforest.com Zach DuFran wrote: I recently purchased aplant labeled Philodendron ‘pincushion.’ I can’t seem to find this name listed in any of the reliable Aroiddatabases. The plant is very small, with leaves measuring 1-2 cm inlength. Stemsare red and leaves are a dark green. Does anyone know the correctbotanicalname for this plant? Here is a good generalpicture of the plant: http://i4.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/2a/4a/24e1_1.JPG And here’s a lousy one ofmy ailing specimen: http://flickr.com/photos/zdufran/3218641930/ Thanks- Zach DuFran _______________________________________________Aroid-L mailing listAroid-L@www.gizmoworks.comhttp://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l --------------050401080803020002050001
