Philodendron adansonii

Philodendron adansonii is not a properly described wild species: the name was published without a description in a 1907 list of plants in the Brussels botanic garden greenhouses, and there are no wild records. In the plant trade the name is widely applied to the Swiss cheese vine, Monstera adansonii, and plants sold under it should be identified before copying any wild conditions.
