Monstera is a tiny genus with 41 officially identified Neotropical species found only in Mexico, Central and South America. Monstera adansonii, first identified to science in 1830 (a Philodendron related but not a Philodendron), is a good example of why I dislike popular names for plants. This plant is also known as the “Swiss Cheese plant.” The species has 19 synonym names, which means that the same plant has 19 different scientific names! That occurs when more than one (often the same) botanist discovers the plant in a different growth form or size and attempts to give it a new name owing to species variety!
