I bought this guy from the nursery where I work. I was part of a large unmarked crop. My best guess would be Mysore. Any thoughts?

Awesome. Does anyone else have an opinion?

I'd say yes or one of the other names that may or may not be exactly the same plant. Looking more closely at the one of the whole plant. It could also be an Iholena. They both make a red underside of the leaf. Close ups of the trunk and petioles (showing how open or closed they are) may also help.

Here's another pic of the petioles

Do the undersides of the leaves, the oldest ones in particular, remain red tinted? Mine don't on Mysore, but they remain on Iholenas. This new pictures makes me think Iholena.

The older leaves lose their purple hue

I should also note that there were mysore in the crop that this originated. That may have been helpful :)

My Mysore all have deep red p-stems and dark green leaves with a few wine marks.

It isn't visible in the pics but there is definitely wine marks on the newer foliage.

I have to take back what I previously said regarding the under sides of the leaves fading to green. The oldest leaves have remained purple though somewhat faded. Any other ideas? thanks again
