  • Patent number: PP7030
    Abstract: A cultivar of Philodendron Selloum having more and smaller leaves, with a red spadix.The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of Philodendron which is believed to be a sport of the Philodendron Selloum. The plant was grown from a seed found in a collection of seeds from the Philodendron Selloum and is believed to be derived from that variety. The denomination of this new variety is "Philodendron Winterbourn".Among the novel characteristics distinguishing this variety from Philodendron Selloum is that the new variety is a smaller leaved much more compact plant than Philodendron Selloum generally having many more leaves than similar aged plants of Philodendron Selloum. While the leaves of Philodendron Winterbourn are similar in overall morphology to those of Philodendron Selloum, they differ markedly in their size. The leaves of Philodendron Winterbourn are approximately three-fourths the length of those of Philodendron Selloum, but only one-third the breadth.
