Aglaonema cordifolium

A Philippine Aglaonema described by Engler in 1915, with a heart-shaped leaf base as the name suggests. Almost nothing about its habitat has been published and GBIF holds no wild records, so these conditions are generalised from the genus and the lowland Philippine climate. Treat it as a hot, humid, shade-loving forest-floor herb.
