(variegated) looks like Monstera deliciosa

| Hi Randy!
The 1st plant is a Philodendron; not sure which one yet.
The 2nd plant (variegated) looks like Monstera deliciosa.
Fatsia japonica looks right for the 3rd (big leaf) plant.
The 4th plant looks like Aglaonema modestum, "Chinese Evergreen".
Rachel, is that plant Monstera siltepecana? It is a Central American climber. |

There is a very good chance that your plant is not an aroid at all. The veination has me very suspicious, and if I could see the leaf attachment to the stem in a picture, that would just about lock it in for me.

Turns out that the plant may be Philodendron 'Xanadu'. A fairly recent hybrid.

| Thanks, Dave.
That's grown a lot around here. My city, about 6 months ago, put them all along one corridor, in full sun, in our coral-rock soil, with very limited if any water. Well, you can guess what they look like now! Only about 20% of the plants have lived and the rest are about ready to die. Such a waste. AND the place looks terrible. They would have been so beautiful if only they had been taken care of.

| This plant has an interesting history:
It was originally reported as a chance seedling in 1983 by a Western Australian nursery as a dwarf of Philodendron selloum, and dubbed with the name Philodendron 'Winterbourn'.
It was renamed in 1988 as Philodendron 'Xanadu' by House Plants of Australia, and released as their "Plant of the Year". It was given the US Plant Patent PP7-030.
Since then it has been established that the plant was grown from seed collected from a wild plant which was collected from Brazil.
In 2003, the International Aroid Society published it's official name as:
Philodendron xanadu Croat, Mayo, & J. Boos.
So then, the plant is no longer a patented cultivar.
Philodendron xanadu is a natural species from Brazil! |

Can you supply a pic of what a Rhaphidophora, look's like and how it grow's for me? It would be appreciated.

| It looks a bit like one I've got which was identified as an Epipremnum. And I've been told they hold their leaves up that way. But I understand your confusion with all these aroids, I have the same feeling about many of them - I might be right, unless I'm wrong. I bought an Anthurium which came (indirectly) from an Anthurium specialist. Turned out it was an Amydrium. Label probably fell off and a wrong one put back. Also, apparently here it's illegal to import Colocasia. So they change the labels to Alocasia which are legal imports. The label stays and the plants are sold on as Alocasia. Gets back to the old saying, don't believe all you read.
So I won't give an iron clad guarantee it's an Epipremnum, but to my (often confused) mind it looks like one. |

| There are patents in Australia and New Zealand for it as well. Patents offices aren't scientific centres and they register what fits their criteria. They wouldn't follow up scientific publications, someone would have to challenge the patent registration which probably no one has bothered to do. |
