Melano\u003c\/strong\u003e is grown in the trade under a name referencing the dark-leaved 'Melano' Philodendron lineage, most famously represented by Philodendron melanochrysum. Philodendron is a genus of over 600 species native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, where most grow as climbing or scrambling epiphytes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif;
