Monstera guatemalensis

Monstera guatemalensis is a name published by Bartlett in 1935 that checklists flag as a nomen (a name without a valid description), so its identity as a distinct species is doubtful. GBIF holds no specimen or observation records, so nothing about its wild conditions is measured. The targets below are generic ones for a hemiepiphytic Monstera of wet Central American forest and should be treated as a starting point only.
