description_en: Genus of 60 species of evergreen root climbers and trailers from woodland in tropical S. and S.E. Asia and the Pacific islands. They are cultivated for their attractive leaves, which are short-stalked and entire on young plants, and long-stalked, larger, and pinnatifid or pinnate on mature specimens. In summer, mature plants grown outdoors produce yellow spadices of tiny, petalless flowers, surrounded by boat-shaped, yellow to green spathes. In frost-prone regions, grow as houseplants, or in a warm greenhouse or conservatory. In tropical climates, grow through a tree or on a damp shady wall.
