Looks like Rhaphidaphora decurvisa.

No I dont think so. I have R.decurvisa and it has more divided leaves with more pinnae. The leaves are soft/ delicate.

I have done some internet research and tend to concur with Epipremnum pinnatum.

It is hard to tell with certainty since the inflorescence is only partially visible, but I would vote for a very old Monstera pinnatipartita. This species is native to the Pacific slope of CentrAm from Nicaragua-Costa Rican border region southeastwards deep into South America, but is in occasional cultivation in Guatemala from cuttings taken at the La Laguna BG in El Salvador.

Many of these fenestrate-pinnate leaf aroids are difficult to ID without a clear photo of the infl and the leaf midribs. As you know, all of them undergo major changes in their leaf shape from seedling to maturity.

Jay is spot on ... I have been growing this for ages . It has a very attractive quilted juv' stage .

Had much confusion regarding its name .. check out David Sherberichs site for some good pics .

Jay, thats it ! I am sure you must have seen the one in my photo. Its growing in a ficus tree in Escalonia just a few steps south of Panza Verde in Antigua.

Scott:

Never paid much attention at what they had a Escalonia so missed it there. I have, however, seen it in the field further south. As an aside, epipremnums do occur as escapes throughout tropical areas of Central America. I have found giant specimens of the variegated form in the unlikeliest of "wild" localities.
