Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please. Some earlier relevant feedback: “Cant see the pic here, but this is my reply in original post where I can see the pic. I dont think this is Monstera, but *Rhaphidophora* *most probably, R. decursiva*.” from Pankaj ji.
"I was also thinking the same as that of Pankaj but couldn't refer further. This plant, I think, is even seen in the forests in Kerala (eg. Perya forests in Waynad) as well. Yazdi ji may have pictures form his farm. Regards, Giby" in another thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/indiantreepix/oGuBb9qNyPE “Pankajji, Yes, its seems to be *Raphidospora*.* Is it R. pertusa? * Sujana” I am not sure but this plant seems to be *Epipremnum pinnatum (L.) Engl.**??? * Please see the below links http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/22040641#page/67/mode/1up<http://goog_1442095630/> http://www.exoticrainforest.com/Epipremnum%20pinnatum%20pc.html regards Manudev K Madhavan" "Yes Manudev is right, It is not Monstera deliciosa in which large holes are present in the lobes of the leaf. *Perhaps to exactly pinpoint whether it is Epipremnum pinnatums or Rhaphadiphora decursive we need closer view of leaf.* In Epipremnum pinnatum, the leaves have minute holes along the midrib, leaves are more or less clustered at tips of branches without cataphylls, and fruits has only 2-4 curved seeds. In Rhaphadiphora decursiva the leaves don't have any holes, leaves are scattered with cataphylls in between and fruit has numerous minute seeds.
