Sheri,

Monstera tuberculata Lundell was first described in Lloydia, 1939, number 1,
page 78.  It is illustrated.  Native to British Honduras (now Belize).

There is also a Monstera tuberculata var. brevinodum (Standley & L. O.
Williams) M. Madison, first described in Contributions to the Gray
Herbarium, 1977, no. 207, page 92.  A now-obsolete synonym is Philodendrum
brevinodum.

At this point I cannot find any record that this species or its variety are
currently in cultivation.
