1835 Epipremnum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, found in tropical forests from China, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia to Australia the western Pacific.
All parts of the plants are toxic, mostly due to trichosclereids (long sharp cells) and raphides.
The plants, commonly known as centipede tongavine, pothos or devil's ivy, depending on species, are typically grown as houseplants in temperate regions.
Juvenile leaves are bright green, often with irregularly variegated patterns of yellow or white.
[6] Three fossil seeds of †Epipremnum crassum have been described from middle Miocene strata of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark.
