Marek:
Monstera friedrichsthalii is a synonym of A. adansonii but M. pertusa is not
even a Monstera as I recall but rather a Rhapidophora (Pete is this not
correct?). M. karwinskyi is a synonym of M. acuminate, not the other way
around. M. obliqua has lots of synonyms. Madison lists 7 including
M. expilata Schott but I intend to resurrect the latter.

Hello,
Can anyone authoritatively tell

M. friedrichsthalii = M. adansonii = M.
pertusa
M. acuminata = M. karwinskyi
M. obliqua has
no
synonyms
Best
Marek
