Epipremnum pinnatum from Delhi-Pl. validate:<\/a> While going through the mail forwarded by\u00a0… on behalf of … who had uploaded the plant as Monstera deliciosa<\/i><\/p>\n

efi thread<\/a><\/div>\n
This plant was subsequently identified by … as Rhaphidophora decursiva<\/i>, It was definitely not Monstera deliciosa<\/i> which has less dissected leaves and large perforations on the blade. <\/span>While going through Rhaphidophora decursiva<\/i> in Flora of China, two things were noticed by me<\/div>\n
1. According to Flora of China and I reproduce “There has been much confusion over <\/span>Rhaphidophora decursiva<\/i> and <\/span>Epipremnum pinnatum <\/i>because both species have large, pinnatifid leaves, but <\/span>E. pinnatum<\/b><\/span> 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.<\/span> There is also a difference in leaf arrangement: <\/span>R.<\/span> decursiva<\/span><\/b> has foliage leaves scattered and interspersed with several (up to 7) cataphyll-bearing nodes<\/span>, whereas <\/span><\/span><\/span>E<\/span>. pinnatum<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span> has leaves often clustered distally without such cataphyll-bearing nodes<\/span>.”<\/span><\/div>\n
2. That similar plant was growing Just below my balcony.
\nI today photographs and realised both things: <\/span>the leaf has minute perforations ust along the midrib and there are no catahyll bearing nodes, leading me to conclude this as Epipremnum pinnatum<\/i><\/span>. Please validate. This may be similar or different from one uploaded by Joby Joseph.<\/span><\/div>\n
