Very nice Epipremnum, commonly called "Devil's Ivy" and "Golden Pothos": http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/51451/ They grow outside down here and climb way up in the trees. The older the plant gets, the larger the leaves get.

I don't have any growing in my yard but I do have a couple of plants in containers that I've had for about six years or so, as well as some growing in vases of water.

It is Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum'.

The Epipremnum pinnatum type species is plain green.

Hi Lin!

The Epipremnum aureum term is a synonym of the cultivar, Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum'.

A synonym for Epipremnum pinnatum, the type species is Epipremnum mirabile.

The PF is definitely in error.
