[Aroid-l] What Monstera Is This?

Leland,
I took those pictures at the Wilson Botanical Garden in Costa
Rica. I didn't measure the leaves but I estimate maybe they were 1
to 1-1/2 feet long. I didn't see any inflorescence. If this is part
of the collection, the label must've been lost, because I didn't see
any. The pattern of the holes really caught my attention because I
have never seen anything similar whether live or in pictures. I
wanted to know what species it is to add it to my wish list. :-D
