Adelonema crinipes is a species of aroid plant belonging to the Philodendron clade. This species was previously classified under the genus Philodendron, but taxonomic revisions have led to its reclassification into the distinct genus Adelonema.
Description
Adelonema crinipes is native to the Neotropical region, with a distribution spanning parts of Central and South America. It is an epiphytic or hemiepiphytic plant, meaning it can grow both on the ground and on other plants, such as trees. The plant has distinctive large, deeply lobed leaves and a unique inflorescence structure.
