Dear George,

In my opinion, the photos of the leaves could be any of several species of Monstera.  
In some of these medium-to-smaller sized Monstera species, there is tremendous variation in the extent/amount of perforation in the leaf blades.  Collectors tend to ''lean'' to the more extreme forms with the most perforations.   This genus is not my ''strong point'', but I believe you`ll have to send photos of spadix details and close ups of the veination of the leaf, especially around the edges, to receive a valid opinion as to species.   I`ll leave the determination to someone more familiar with the genus than I!  Perhaps Leland might have an opinion.

Good Growing,

Julius
