Syngonium xanthophidium

An old Syngonium name published by Schott in 1860. GBIF's backbone lists it as accepted, but the Catalogue of Life treats it as a synonym of Syngonium podophyllum, and there are no wild records. If your plant carries this label, grow it like S. podophyllum: a warm, humid lowland climber.
