As an Aroid, does Monstera dubia fit as a shingling aroid? Ron Kessler

The only ones I can think of are a couple of species of Dischidia,
and perhaps a few ferns where the rhizomes are somewhat overlapping,
providing a home for ants, though the fronds still stick out. I'd be
interested in hearing what other plants exhibit this shingle type
growth habit. There may be a couple of Begonia species, but the
leaves aren't appressed to the substrate the way theu are in these
others.
