Distribution
Only recently discovered in 2021 in Panama by Marco Cedeño & Thomas Croat. The species is named after Bocas del Toro Province, Panama, where all the known specimens have been collected.
Monstera bocatorensis is characterized by its smooth and glaucous stems, long, smooth petioles glaucous throughout and 46–90 cm long, short petiole sheaths that extend only to the middle or ¾ of its length, usually deeply pinnatifid (rarely entire) leafblades, never perforate, and smooth, light green or dark green peduncles, 27–45 cm long, entirely covered by the cataphylls.
Distribution and habitat: Monstera bocatorensis is endemic to Panama, where it is known only from the western slopes of the mountains east of Fortuna Dam below the Continental Divide in Bocas del Toro Province, from sea level to 1100 m, in the Tropical wet forest and Premontane wet forest life zones.
