Identification. This species is characterized by having deciduous petiole sheaths, pinnatilobed or pinnatifid blades with narrow segments (1–3 cm wide). In the study area it can be confused with M. spruceana , which differs in comprising juvenile plants with leaves tightly appressed to the substrate, persistent petiolar sheaths and blades with broad segments (5–14 cm wide).
Distribution and ecology. Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Panama, and Venezuela. Monstera pinnatipartita is a very common species on Cerro Pirre, both in semideciduous and evergreen forests. It is common to observe many juvenile individuals of this species on understory and few adult individuals along the forest.
