Philodendron Black Billitae

The Philodendron 'Black Billietiae' (often incorrectly spelled Black Billitea or referred to as Philodendron billietiae 'Dark Form' ) is a rare and highly prized collector's plant. This variety is distinguished from the type species by its elongated, shield-shaped leaves of an extremely dark green, almost black, contrasting beautifully with its characteristic bright orange petioles.
