Cercestis mirabilis

Decorative triangular shaped leaves are green with whitish silver markings that slowly fade as the plant matures. Initially the juvenile plants starts as terrestrial vines and then becomes climbing epiphytes, sending out long bumpy, adhesive roots. Like almost all aroids as a specimen matures it morphs into a plant with a totally different color and shape. In young plants or shoots the leaf blades are not perforated but as the blades enter the adult growth stage the perforations begin to form.

Young leaves and inflorescences - cooked and eaten as a vegetable.
