Here's some info I found on a great Latin dictionary site which helps explain the various names of the blue philodendron.

glaucifolius
glaucifolia
glaucifolium = glaucous leaved
=glaucus / glauc adj γλαυκοϛ = bright, sparkling, gleaming; grayish,
bluish-green
(for plants, a white bloom on a leaf giving a gray-green appearance
+ i =connective vowel used by botanical Latin
+ folius =foli adj folium = leaf

hastata
hastatum = spear shaped
hastatus = hastat adj armed with a spear


And this is a picture of what i'm calling 'hastatum' which has spear shaped leaves as opposed to the arrow shape of the others.
