The definitive favourite of among lovers of variegated plants, Monstera deliciosa var. borsigiana 'Albo variegata' presents every leaf with a different pattern.
Stem is green/ variegated; internodes usually short and wide. Petioles are verrucose or smooth, not pruinose; distally winged or not. Leaf blades are deeply cordate, 40–92 cm long,with 6–12 lobes per side; largest lateral lobes sometimes unequally bifid or trifid apically.
It is comparable to Monstera lechleriana in growth habit, size of leaves and how the internodes are stacked at maturity with the leaves fanning out. However, the smaller perforations along the midrib and large perforations that extend form close to the midrib up to the margin and its generally droopy leaves makes it distinct.
The genus name Monstera ( modern Latin), comes perhaps form Latin monstrum ‘monster’ (because of the unusual appearance of the leaves in some species). (uncertain)
