Monstera Adans. Araceae (n). 27 trop. Am. Climbing shrubs with 

 pinnatifid 1., full of round holes. When very young the 1. is entire ; 

 then the tissue between the veins ceases to grow rapidly, becomes dry 

 and tears away, thus leaving holes between the ribs ; at the edge the 

 marginal part usually breaks, and thus the outermost hole gives rise 

 to a notch in the 1., which becomes pinnated. Beginning as a climber 

 the pi. usu. ends as an epiph. with aerial roots to the soil. Fls. .
