Philodendron Bipinnatifidum
''Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum'' (common names: split-leaf philodendron, lacy tree philodendron, selloum, horsehead philodendron) is a plant in the genus ''Thaumatophyllum'', in the family Araceae. Previously it was classified in the genus ''Philodendron'' within subgenus ''Meconostigma''. The commonly used names ''Philodendron bipinnatifidum'' and ''Philodendron selloanum'' are synonyms. This plant is native to South America, namely to Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay, but is also cultivated as a landscape plant in tropical, subtropical and warm temperate climates. The common name "split-leaf philodendron" is also used for ''Monstera deliciosa''. Description Growth habitat ''Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum'' is a tropical plant that is usually grown in full sun, but can tolerate and adapt to deep shade. It grows best in rich, moisture-retentive soil that can be slightly alkaline. However, it cannot tolerate high salt concentration in soil. It is capable of supporting i ...

Thaumatophyllum
''Thaumatophyllum'' (formerly '' Meconostigma'') is a genus of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae. Its species are native to northern (tropical) South America. Taxonomy The genus ''Thaumatophyllum'' was erected by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott in 1859, with the sole species '' Thaumatophyllum spruceanum''. In 1962, G.M. Barroso transferred ''T. spruceanum'' to ''Philodendron''. (However, the transfer was not made correctly and Barroso's name ''Philodendron spruceanum'' is illegitimate.) While in ''Philodendron'', ''T. spruceanum'' was placed, along with other species, in subgenus ''Meconostigma''. A series of molecular phylogenetic studies, particularly from 2008 onwards, suggested that, when broadly circumscribed, ''Philodendron'' was not monophyletic. In 2018, it was proposed that subgenus ''Meconostigma'' should be raised to the rank of genus, under the name ''Thaumatophyllum''. The proposal has been accepted by Plants of the World Online, among other taxonomic d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
