Koch Genus: Monstera Family: Araceae subfamily: Monsteroideae tribe: Monstereae. Nomen number: 312844 Place of publication: A. C. H. Braun et al.=2C App. gen. sp. nov. 5. 1855 Name verified on: 14-Oct-1987 by ARS Systematic Botanists. Last updated: 06-Nov-2006 Species priority site is: Natl. Germplasm Repository - Miami (MIA). It is still listed on Tropicos as well . So goes to show you cannot believe everything you hear or read .. Is it just that it has not been updated ? Or mistaken identity with mature foliage that got this statment .. "The wantonly and inventively misapplied Monstera dilacerata (K. Koch &=3B Sello) K. Koch is revealed to be a synonym of the Asian Epipremnum pinnatum =3B (L.) Engl.=2C and the obscure Monstera pinnatipartita Schott is neotypified and resurrected for one of the four Costa Rican spp. included under M. dilacerata in Madison's generic revision (Contr. Gray Herb. 207: 1-100. 1977). The redundant combination Monstera dissecta (Schott) Croat &=3B Grayum (1987) is corrected to M. dissecta (Schott) N. E. Br. ex Donn. Sm. (1899). No illustrations. " I cannot wait for the next revision . Find it on Domain.com.au Need a new place to live?--_e4c14125-c81a-402a-910f-a399bacade2a_----===============6167957280982877610==
