Leaf lamina are deeply pinnatifid, the pinnae 3 – 12 in number per side, usually contracted into a narrowly cuneate portion at the base.
The genus name Monstera ( modern Latin), comes perhaps form Latin monstrum ‘monster’ (because of the unusual appearance of the leaves in some species). (uncertain)
