Monstera dubia

Monstera dubia is a stout climber reaching up to 25 m in height, with adult leaves that are drooping and coriaceous. Seedlings are stolon-like creepers, while juvenile leaves are shingle-like with a cordate lamina and silver flecks. The adult stem is elliptic in cross-section, warty or tuberculate, and dark green to tan. Leaves are 20–100 cm long and 13–50 cm wide, with some individuals retaining entire leaves while others develop pinnatifid lobes and fenestrations. The peduncle is tuberculate and terete, and the spathe is thickly coriaceous, pink abaxially and white adaxially. The species was initially placed in the genus Marcgravia due to uncertainty, as indicated by the specific epithet 'dubia,' meaning dubious.
