Philodendron acutatum Schott

Image of Philodendron quinquenervium Miq.

Description:

A 2-parted spadix, with female flowers at the bottom and male flowers at the top, exuding a pretty strong and intoxicating scent, exquisite in small doses and reminiscent of a fine French perfume but intolerable if the spadix is left indoors for any length of time. Here the female-flowered part of the spadix is visible.
