We obtained this possible variant of philodendron verrucosum from plantedglassboxes in Ecuador to compare to other verrucosum variants in our inventory and is clear that this supposed verrucosum type is unlike anything we have from various regions. It is a worthy species to be regarded not only for its larger size but its darker velvet foliage with very dark striped undersides. Unfortunately with no locale data it is hard for any possible identifications but based on personal observations of variable natural hybrids in central Ecuador I suspect this species originated from that region somewhere.
