Re: Monstera names

Hiyer!

Madison, in his revision of the genus (1977) lists Monstera borsigiana Engler, 1879 as a junior synonym of M. deliciosa  Liebmann, 1849. 

I have no information on the other name.

Good luck!

I have been  getting more involved with a couple of Monstera species and I keep coming across names that seem not to have validity acccording to Kew’s  The Plant List or Plants of the World. CAn anyone verify these names

1, borsigiana either as a species or subspecies of M. deliciosa ?  It is tossed around as if it were associated with some dwarf growing plant form.

2. M. karstenianum  AKA Monstera ‘Ex Peru’.  This looks very unlike a Monstera species.  Does anyone know if it is valid or what it might refer to specifically?

Thanks and appreciate any input.  Jim W.
