Philodendron plant

Abstract

A Philodendron plant of very compact rosette form having thick narrowly ovate to elliptic leaves, the leaves being dark-brick red becoming dark-reddish-green when mature. The petioles are black-red, short, thickened and prominently winged.

I claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of Philodendron plant, substantially as herein shown and described, characterized particularly as to novelty by the unique combination of compact rosette form with thick narrowly ovate to elliptic leaves, which are dark, brick-red color as new leaves becoming dark-reddish-green at maturity, petioles of black-red, short thickened prominently winged form, presenting over all a very compact, bushy, spreading plant of a height substantially less than its spread.
