This is a very rare, non-variegated variety of Monstera deliciosa. The leaves have a very unusual form and are crooked and twisted... it looks like they are twisted inside-out!

It can be grown outdoors in zones 9b through 11. It can be also grown in a conservatory or indoors. It is a vining species just like nearly all Monstera spp. and varieties.
