Monstera deliciosa 'Borsigiana'

(Engl.) Engl. & K. Krause 1908

Described as M. borsigiana. It's also known as M. deliciosa var. borsigiana.
It's smaller and "moreclimbing" than the pure species.



The first "normal" leaf has grown after 1.5 year
after obtaining a cutling.
The same specimen 1.5 year later.
Almost a year later: a first leaf with holes inside.
The stem is always smooth.
A very young plant can really be mistaken as Epipremnum pinnatum,
a little older is similar to Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, see where's the difference.
A comparison with M. deliciosa (on the left).
