Monstera Adans. (Araceae: Monstereae) is revised for Costa Rica. Thirty-five species are recognised, of which one (M. deliciosa) is introduced. Of them, ten have been only very recently described and Monstera tablasensis M.Cedeño is described as new here. A key to the species is provided, and each is illustrated. Lectotypes, epitypes or neotypes ar...

... Monstera Adanson is a Neotropical genus of Araceae comprising about 80 published species, which are generally found in humid tropical forested regions at low to mid elevations, particularly in Central America with more than 50 species (Croat et al. 2024). This genus was revised in its entirety by Madison (1977), but recently Cedeño-Fonseca et al. (2022) and Croat et al. (2024) published comprehensive taxonomic revisions for Costa Rica and Central America, respectively. Despite being a relatively well-known genus in the latter region, new species have been discovered in recent years (Zuluaga and Cameron 2018;Cedeño-Fonseca et al. 2018, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c, 2021a, 2021b, mainly from poorly explored areas of Costa Rica and Panama. ...
Monstera cedenoi, endemic to eastern Costa Rica, is described and illustrated. Based on its pinkish spathes, the taxonomic novelty belongs to the Monstera oreophila complex, which also includes M. gentryi, M. mittermeieri, and M. oreophila. Detailed comparisons between the new proposed taxon and its morphological relatives
are included

Marcgraviop-sis Madison (Araceae: Monsteroide-ae: Monstereae) from the Caribbean watershed in Costa Rica and Pan-ama. Abstract. Three new species from Monstera sect. Marcgraviopsis, M. caribaea M.Cedeño, O.Ortiz & A.Hay, M. lamersiana M.Cedeño & A.Hay and M. panamensis M.Cedeño & O.Ortiz, are described, and new record of M. guzmanjacobiae Díaz Jim. et al. for Costa Rica is reported here. The new species are compared with the most similar described species with shingling juveniles, and illustrated from living plants.
