Monstera glaucescens is a flowering plant in genus Monstera of the arum family, Araceae.The native range of this species is Nicaragua to Colombia. It is a climber that grows primarily in wet tropical biomes.
It is native to South east Nicaragua to North west Colombia. [1]
Monstera deliciosa, the Swiss cheese plant or split-leaf philodendron is a species of flowering plant native to tropical forests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. It has been introduced to many tropical areas, and has become a mildly invasive species in Hawaii, Seychelles, Ascension Island and the Society Islands. It is very widely grown in temperate zones as a houseplant.
Monstera is a genus of 59 species of flowering plants in the arum family, Araceae, native to tropical regions of central and south America.
Calathea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Marantaceae. They are commonly called calatheas or prayer plants. About 200 species formerly assigned to Calathea are now in the genus Goeppertia. Calathea currently contains around 60 species. Native to the tropical Americas, many of the species are popular as pot plants due to their decorative leaves and, in some species, colorful inflorescences. The young leaves and bracts can retain pools of water called phytotelmata, that provide habitat for many invertebrates.
Iriartea is a genus in the palm family Arecaceae, native to Central and South America. The best-known species – and probably the only one – is Iriartea deltoidea, which is found from Nicaragua, south into Bolivia and a great portion of Western Amazonian basin. It is the most common tree in many forests in which it occurs.
Reinhardtia is a genus in the palm family native to the northern Neotropics. It is a primarily Central American genus with five species distributed between southern Mexico and the extreme north of Colombia, and one isolated species, Reinhardtia paiewonskiana in the southwest of the Dominican Republic.
Prestoea is a genus of palms native to the Caribbean, Central and South America. Its range extends from Nicaragua and the Greater Antilles in the north to Brazil and Bolivia in the south.
Sarcoglottis is a genus of flowering plants from the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It is widespread across much of Latin America from Mexico to Argentina, with one species extending northward into Trinidad and the Windward Islands.
Monstera standleyana, the five holes plant is a species of flowering plant from family Araceae which can be found in Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. It was described by G.S. Bunting in 1967.
Monstera siltepecana is a species of flowering plant in the genus Monstera native to the wet tropical biomes of southern Mexico and Central America. Like other Monstera species, it is a vining plant and as it matures, develops holes in its leaves. Especially in immature foliage, it has distinctive silver venation. The monstera siltepecana is a very fast growing plant along with the other arum family members.
Monstera acacoyaguensis is a flowering plant in the family Araceae and the genus Monstera, section Monstera. its native range is Mexico (Chiapas) to Belize, at altitudes below 200 meters. As an adult, it grows as an epiphyte. Juvenile plants grow as terrestrial creepers, and undergo dramatic morphogenesis upon reaching a suitable climbing surface. Adult plants have green, smooth petioles 40-65 centimeters long, with adaxially glossy, leathery, ovate leaf blades that rapidly truncate to the petiole, 60-85 centimeters long and 35-45 centimeters wide. Its fenestrations are numerous, ovate, and mostly originate mid-rib, sometimes in two to three rows. These perforations curl adaxially, and are 2-5 centimeters wide and 4-12 centimeters long. Monstera acacoyaguensis has a light yellow to cream-colored spathe, 25-30 centimeters wide and 25-35 centimeters tall. Its spadix is yellow and cylindric, 1.5-2 centimeters wide and 18-22 centimeters long. Its seeds have not been described. It has been described as having an unusually persistent spathe, lasting up to 20 days at maturity in comparison to other monstera, who only flower for two to three days. M. acacoyaguensis is also notable because, unlike most other monstera, it naturally grows in conditions of full sunlight.
Monstera amargalensis is a flowering plant that belongs to the genus Monstera, and the family Araceae.
Monstera aureopinnata is a flowering plant in genus Monstera of family Araceae. It is an epiphyte.
Monstera dissecta is a species of flowering plant in the genus Monstera and family Araceae.
Monstera filamentosa is a flowering plant in the genus Monstera and family Araceae.
Monstera lechleriana is a flowering plant in the genus Monstera in the arum family, Araceae. It is native to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panamá, Peru, and Venezuela. The species is named for the German botanist Willibald Lechler, who collected the original type specimen in 1854. It was the scientifically described by Heinrich Wilhelm Schott by 1860. Like other species of Monstera, the plant is an epiphytic climbing vine which grows on the lower trunks of trees, and which produces large leaves with perforations when mature that appear on each side of the midrib of the foliage.
Monstera minima is a species of flowering plant in the genus Monstera of the arum family, Araceae. Its binomial name minima refers to its tiny foliage, and it is indeed the smallest of the Monstera species when it comes to leaf size. It is most easily distinguished from other species in the genus due to the fact that its peduncles are much longer than its leaves.
Monstera subpinnata is a species of flowering plant native to Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. It grows as an epiphyte. The plant is best known for its pinnate leaves, which are unusual within the genus Monstera. The species can grow as tall as 12 m, with leaves growing as large as 40 cm long and 30 cm wide.
Monstera tuberculata, also called the giant Monstera or the giant velvet-leaf Monstera, is a species of plant in the genus Monstera native from Mexico south to Panama. It grows in lowland wet tropical biomes up to 200 metres (660 ft) in elevation. Similar to Monstera dubia and a few other species in its genus, when young M. tuberculata has a shingle-like growth habit with leaves tightly pressed against the trunks of trees. As it matures, it has short-stemmed, oval leaves that lack the fenestrations of better-known species like Monstera deliciosa. Unusually for an aroid, its fruit hangs like a pendant.
Philodendron opacum is a species of flowering plant. It has a native range extending from Southeast Nicaragua to Ecuador and includes Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama. Its habitat is largely restricted to the Tropical Wet Forest and Premontane Wet Forest life zones in Central America, but in South America extends into Premontane Rain Forest (Colombia) and Tropical Moist Forest (Ecuador).
Monstera tenuis is a species of plant in the genus Monstera native to Central America, from Nicaragua to Panama. It grows in wet tropical habitats below 1,600 meters (5,200 ft). Like many others in its genus, like Monstera dubia, the plant starts life on the forest floor and then climbs tree trunks in a shingling fashion with leaves tightly appressed to the surface of the trunk. When it reaches a sufficient height, the leaf morphology dramatically changes to pinnate in nature. The name of the species, which means "thin" in Latin, refers to the juvenile leaves.
