Philodendron grazielae |
Philodendron grazielae is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron native to Peru and Brazil.[1] It was named after the Brazilian botanist Graziela Barroso, who collected the original specimen that was then cultivated in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden in the 1960s.[2] It is a relatively small species with cordate leaves that grow 4–11 centimetres (1.6–4.3 in) wide, and it grows in a climbing habit.[3][4]
