Unknown Terrestrial

Keaau, HI

Does anyone know what this Aroid is?

The plant gets up to 3 feet off the ground. The stem likes to crawl across the ground just at the surface of the soil. It does not climb trees (been creeping on the ground for 14 years).

Here is a leave; it's about 2 feet long.

That plant is Philodendron gloriosum. I have several exactly like it.

Thank you very much LariAnn!

Another mystery solved!

I've had the plant for about 15 years and have never seen it flower.

You're welcome! Mine have not only bloomed, but I have hybridized with them. Alas, they are very sensitive to near freezing temps, but do come back.
