Pothos (Potha is said to be a Ceylonese name). Araceae. Tall-climbing branching shrubs (more or less herbaceous as known in cultivation) of the oriental tropics.

Leaves thick and often shining, entire or lobed, sometimes blotched or variegated: fls. small and perfect, crowded on a spadix, with 6 perianth-segms. and 6 stamens, the ovary 3-loculed and with a rounded or mushroom-like sessile stigma: fr. a 1 - 3-seeded berry: spathe usually persistent and wide-spreading or deflexed at maturity. Rhaphidophora has an oblong or linear stigma. About 50 species. Several names are in the hort, trade, but not all of them belong to Pothos. In fact, the genus Pothos is very ill-defined in cult, because species are named before fls. and frs. are known and determinations are often wrongly made. Some of them are to be referred to Scindapsus and others perhaps to Rhaphidophora. The species of Pothos send out cord-like roots that cling to damp walls. For P. argyraea, see Scindapsus pictus var. For monograph, see Engler, Das Pflanzenreich. IV. 23 B (1905). They are warmhouse foliage plants and require the same general treatment as Philodendron.
P. celatocaulis, N. E. Br.  Monstera latevaginata. P. Laureiri, Hook. & Arn. Climbing, branched, with aerial roots: petioles 4 - 5 in. long, linear, flat: blades decurved, much shorter than petiole, linear-lanceolate, acuminate: spathe 1 1/2 - 2 in. long, linear to linear- lanceolate; spadix stipulate, 2 - 4 in. long, cylindric, green: berries smooth, scarlet, about  2/5 in. long. S. China. U.M. 7744.
