This photo of Philodendron panduriforme was taken in the wild by aroid botanist Dr. Tom Croat and appeared in an early issue of the International Aroid Society journal Aroideana.

I have yet to figure out why so many sellers, especially on eBay, sell Philodendron bipennifolium using the name P. panduriforme. The scientific descriptions are not even a close match. These are fully adult plants but were you to find a true juvenile it won't look like either photo since the early lobes are very small.
