Scindapsus scortechinii

A Scindapsus described by Hooker from Scortechini's collections in Perak, recorded in Peninsular Malaysia's hill and upper montane forest (Cameron Highlands, Genting, Bukit Larut) and in peninsular Thailand. Records sit at about 1000–1500 m, so it wants cooler nights than most Scindapsus.
