The very first leaves from a newstem often emerge from petiole sheathes, they unfold fasterthan the typical adult and adolescent leaves emerging fromcataphylls. For a plant growing in the wildit is important to grow fast in the first stage of its life. I append photos of my Ph.bipennifolium juvenile cutlings.

Pteromischum. I have forwarded it to MikeGrayum, the expert on this group in hopes he can determine it in this state. It looks a lot like P. auranitiifolium, I think, but there are quite anumber that are similar.

Tom would be the best source. Some have the velvetappearance but many forms don't. We saw a fairly large semi-adult at the Myriad Centeryesterday that had no velutinous appearance and I have several in my atriumthat don't show it as well.

It was supposedlycollected in Panamabut I have no other info other than that. If someone had told me it was from Asia I would say it was a species of Pothos.
