Philodendron burle-marxii is a plant in the genus Philodendron native to South America ranging from Colombia to Ecuador and Brazil.[1] Named by Graziela Barroso after landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx,[2][3] it is one of over 50 plants that bear his name.[4] This aroid is a climber, and has green narrowly oblong leaves.[5]
The popular cultivar, Philodendron 'Burle Marx," is not to be confused with this species. The cultivar can be distinguished by its shiny, elongated heart-shaped leaves,[6] in contrast to the lanceolate leaves of Philodendron burle-marxii.
