Abstract
The genus Scindapsus Schott (1832) contains about 35 species occurring from northeastern India to western Polynesia. The genus is divisible into two informal groups based on vegetative morphology. Some species, e.g. S. altissimus Alderw. (Alderwerelt van Rosenburgh 1922), are huge few-stemmed climbers reaching the canopy of emergent trees and commonly exceeding 60 m in height. However, most species are diffuse climbers, usually occuring on small trees or rock faces, and seldom exceeding 5 m in height. The species described here belongs to the second group. Although only known from plants cultivated in Munich and Kew, it is highly distinctive and has significant horticultural potential; therefore we believe it deserves recognition.
