In Epipremnum pinnatum, the leaves have minute holes along the midrib, leaves are more or less clustered at tips of branches without cataphylls, and fruits has only 2-4 curved seeds.
In Rhaphadiphora decursiva the leaves don’t have any holes, leaves are scattered with cataphylls in between and fruit has numerous minute seeds.

Epipremnum pinnatum from Delhi-Pl. validate: While going through the mail forwarded by … on behalf of … who had uploaded the plant as Monstera deliciosa This plant was subsequently identified by … as Rhaphidophora decursiva, It was definitely not Monstera deliciosa which has less dissected leaves and large perforations on the blade. While going through Rhaphidophora decursiva in Flora of China, two things were noticed by me
1. According to Flora of China and I reproduce “There has been much confusion over Rhaphidophora decursiva and Epipremnum pinnatum because both species have large, pinnatifid leaves, but E. pinnatum has a leaf blade with tiny perforations (ca. 2 mm) along and adjacent to the midrib, an ovary with 2 or 3 ovules, and a sessile, longitudinally linear-oblong stigma. There is also a difference in leaf arrangement: R. decursiva has foliage leaves scattered and interspersed with several (up to 7) cataphyll-bearing nodes, whereas E. pinnatum has leaves often clustered distally without such cataphyll-bearing nodes.”
2. That similar plant was growing Just below my balcony.
I today photographs and realised both things: the leaf has minute perforations ust along the midrib and there are no catahyll bearing nodes, leading me to conclude this as Epipremnum pinnatum. Please validate. This may be similar or different from one uploaded by Joby Joseph. You may like to read this link. I have no idea how authentic the texts are.

This is perhaps Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl. that have been mentioned by … in one of my recent thread. I think yes …   Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight: Araceae- Epipremnum pinnatum from Delhi-GSAUG37 : 2 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (2).
Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl.
A climbing aroid often confused with Monstera deiciosa and Rhaphidophora decursiva but lacking large holes on segments (unlike Monstera) and having minute holes along the midrib (absent in Rhaphidophora decirsiva).
Photographed from Delhi Thanks for pointing out the differences.
I could correct one of my picture, wrongly named.
Arecaceae, Araceae, Zingiberaceae Fortnight 1-14 Aug 2014: Monstera sp. for ID (Araceae) from Uttarakhand_DSR_22 : 3 posts by 2 authors. Attachments (3). This Monstera sp. is commonly planted in Pantnagar, Uttarakhand.
Please suggest the ID. Not Monstera … If there are minute holes along the midrib, it should be Epipremnum pinnatum If no holes Rhaphidophora decursiva Thank you Sir. I watched it closely and found minute holes along mid rib. Taking it as Epipremnum pinnatum.
Pictures taken on 16th Aug,14. Kindly validate. Yes …

Could this be “Monstera deliciosa“?? I don’t think it is Monstera deliciosa. Please show close up of leaf. It seems to be Epipremnum pinnatum.

Araceae seen at a cultivated garden in Mumbai. Epipremnum pinnatum?
Looks matching.
    Araceae, Arecaceae and Zingiberaceae Fortnight: Araceae-:: Monstera sp??.from Mumbai :: PKA29 : 6 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4). Climber from Mumbai. Could this be Monstera sp..
Not again please, Epipremnum pinnatum (minute holes along midrib) or Rhaphidophora decursiva (no holes along Midrib). Monstera deliciosa has broader segmnts with large holes on the segments. More likely to be a Raphidophora sps.
This is Epipremnum pinnatum as per keys and details herein.
