A widespread species characterized by its deeply pinnatifid (dissected) leaves. Unlike Monstera subpinnata, the leaf segments are connected at the base rather than fully separated. The seeds are distinctively large and rounded. It grows as a hemiepiphyte on large trees.
A recently described species from the Donoso District in Panama. It is characterized by entire, oblong-elliptic leaf blades and distinctive floral morphology. It lacks the fenestrations found in many other Monstera species.
