Epipremnum amplissimum is a species of flowering plant in the genus Epipremnum, native to Southeast Asia, from New Guinea to Vanuatu including northern Australia.[1][2]
Like the more commonly known Epipremnum aureum (Pothos), it is an evergreen vine typically on a tree as an epiphyte. Unlike the fenestrations of Epipremnum pinnatum, this species does not develop dramatically new leaf shapes when climbing, with young foliage having a narrow elliptic shape and then increasing in length and breadth as it grows. The plant is most commonly kept in cultivation in its juvenile state, where it may have blue-gray variegation that disappears with maturity.[3]
