Abstract: | Philodendron subgenus Meconostigma is defined and described taxonomically and a revision of the 15 recognized species is presented; two new species, P. dardanianum and P. uliginosum, are described. P. selloum is reduced to the synonymy of P. bipinnatifidum. Keys to the three subgenera of Philodendron and to the species of subgen. Meconostigma are presented. Brief reviews are given of vegetative and inflorescence morphology and anatomy, floral biology, geography, ecology and the fossil record. |
