Syngonium chiapense Matuda is a very beautiful aroid and quite unusual among Syngonium plants. It is a scandent herb. Juvenile plants have glaucous stems, blades are ovate-cordate. Adult plants with stems green, usually glaucous. Petioles are subterete above the sheath, weakly flattened on the upper surface; blades with the upper surface matte, seldom weakly glossy, the lower surface matte, much paler, ovate cordate. Variegated plants show light yellow colouration which emerges in different patterns on every new leaf.
