Rhaphidophora crassicaulis
large leaves with holes in them, climbing vine
evergreen forest
I spotted this growing up a tree along a river during a 4 day trek in southern China, near the border with Myanmar.
Thanks for the suggestion Cesar but it is not Monstera. I have one in my house too and thought it was that but their natural distribution is in southern Mexico to Colombia, so this is way out of it's range. It was not near any cultivated gardens, so I don't think it's an escapee. I really think it's some species of Philodendron.
Me too alice, not sure about which species though. Maybe ceherzog can help? I will ask her later.
