Steve,
I have EXOTICA 10 and I am looking at the photo of
Philodendron variifolium.
NOTHING like the link you gave.
Very hard to judge the scale, but it is shaped like the heart-leaf
climbers with whiter or lighter shading between the veins.
Does that help?

Also, if anyone has a copy of Graf's TROPICA or EXOTICA would you check and see if the plant on this page is shown in either of those books as being Philodendron variifolium? For some time I've been trying to track down where this error originated although I am aware a beautiful plant was displayed some years ago at an IAS show and Sale that was incorrectly tagged. Shortly after that happened Dr. Croat explained the name was incorrect and the correct name was in fact Philodendron brandtianum.
