Thaumatophyllum spruceanum , formerly known as Philodendron goeldii

This self heading plant, formerly of the philodendron genus and now known to belong to the recently established new Thaumatophyllum genus, produces  clusters of leaves that form in a spiral or wheel fashion at the end or tip of each stem.

These specimens are a lovely and luscious size, measuring approx 20cm in height and 20cm in width. This is a very robust plant and excellent for the beginner wanting to try something a little unusual.
