Philodendron 'Sucre's Slim' is a wonderful, almost never seen in collections, very unusual Philodendron. It has been distributed by Dimitri Sucre in Rio in 1989. He called it 'Sucre's Slim'. It is not known whether this plant is a hybrid, cultivar or an actual undescribed species, as suggested by some botanists.
Its narrow spear-like foliage is supported by very long petioles. The petiole is terete near the apex but there are are striations on the flattened adaxial surface near the base, the blades don't seem to grown larger than 20-25 cm nd the petioles are around double the length of the blade. The widest point on the blade is barely 3 cm. This Philodendron grows as a clumping form. It is said it is one of the smallest Philodendron species.
form the Modern Latin genus name Philodendron (Schott, 1830), form Greek philodendron, neuter of philodendrons "loving trees," form philo- "loving" (see philo-) + dendron "tree" (form PIE *der-drew-, form root *deru- "to be firm, solid, steadfast," also forming words for "wood, tree"). The plant so called because it clings to trees.
