(2002). World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae (and Acoraceae): 1-560. The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 23 Page 14, 麒麟叶属 qi lin ye shu, ''Epipremnum'' Schott, Bonplandia (Hannover). 5: 45. 1857. )〕 They are evergreen perennial vines climbing with the aid of aerial roots. They are often confused with other Monstereae such as ''Rhaphidophora aurea''. All parts of the plants are toxic, mostly due to trichosclereids (long sharp cells) and raphides. Plants can grow to over with leaves up to long, but in containers the size is much reduced. 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. == Species == #''Epipremnum amplissimum'' (Schott) Engl. - Queensland, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Bismarck Archipelago, Vanuatu #''Epipremnum aureum'' (Linden & André) G.S.Bunting - native to Moorea in Polynesia; naturalized in Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, Queensland, Melanesia, Seychelles, Hawaii, Florida, Costa Rica, Bermuda, the West Indies, Brazil, Ecuador, and probably a few other places #''Epipremnum carolinense'' Volkens - Micronesia #''Epipremnum ceramense'' (Engl. & K.Krause) Alderw. - Maluku #''Epipremnum dahlii'' Engl. - Bismarck Archipelago #''Epipremnum falcifolium'' Engl. - Borneo #''Epipremnum giganteum'' (Roxb.)
