Due to a mis-tagged plant at a plant show in Miami some years ago the wrong plant is being sold with the name Philodendron variifolium at sources all over the world.

The plant I am seeking is found only in Peru and has an elongated leaf blade that is extremely variable in shape (thus the name "variifolium"). The true species often grows as a terrestrial plant while the plant that masquerades with that name is a climber. You can see the real species at the link below.

The other plant, which is Philodendron brandtianum can be seen here:

If you grow the Peruvian species and would be willing to sell a cutting I'd really like to hear from you but more importantly I'd like good close-up photos of both surfaces of the leaf blade, the petiole, the cataphyll, the stem and the inflorescence.

By the way, the real species is somewhat rare and is rarely seen in private collections.

Thanks!
