Monstera obliqua is a species of the genus Monstera native to Central and South America.

[1] It is hemiepiphytic like most other Monstera species.

The plant is particularly known for its foliage, which is, in mature specimens of a few varieties, highly perforated, sometimes described as having more empty space than leaf.

[2] An illustration of the general variation in adult leaf shape from different individuals of this species can be found in Michael Madison's A Revision of Monstera.

[3] The species is not commonly cultivated, but the name is often misapplied to specimens of the more widespread Monstera adansonii.
