Inktober 2023 // Day 18: Saddle

Monstera deliciosa, the Swiss cheese plant, is a species of flowering plant native to tropical forests of southern Mexico, south to Panama. It’s common names "split-leaf philodendron" and “saddle leaf philodendron” is also used for the species Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum, although neither species are in the genus. The ‘deliciosa’ epithet refers to its fruit, which releases a strong and sweet scent as it ripens, comparable to a combination of pineapples and bananas. The fruit is edible and safe to eat for humans.
