Talk:Syngonium

Name change


This page apparently lists Arrowhead Philodendron, Nephthytis, and Syngonium podophyllum as the same thing. It says:


 * This species appears to have been cultivated as a houseplant since the end of the 19th century. It’s been confused botanically with an African genus, Nephthytis, which it resembles. Even though the American species were reclassified in 1879 to their own genus, the original name stuck as a common name.

So Syngonium podophyllum is the new name? And the old was something Nephthytis? — Omegatron 14:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
