Boyce resurrected it as its own species in 2006 following fieldwork in Sarawak. It's a climbing hemiepiphyte that shows a genuinely striking growth transformation: juvenile leaves are narrow, ascending, and non-overlapping (unlike the overlapping \"shingling\" leaves of its korthalsii relatives), while mature leaves become large, palm-like, and deeply split.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 0.95em; font-style: italic; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 16px; color: #3d5c3a;\"\u003eNote: as a freshly imported bare-root plant, this specimen typically arrives with just a few leaves — the photo shows a more mature, fuller specimen for reference.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 16px; background-color: #16261a; border: 1px solid #0d1a10; padding: 14px 18px; color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e This species starts slow but speeds up dramatically once established — give it a pole to climb, since mature, deeply split leaves only develop with vertical support.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 1.05em; line-height: 1.8; margin-bottom: 16px; color: #1c1c1c;\"\u003eGive it bright indirect light, an airy, well-draining aroid mix, and water once the top third of the soil has dried — this species dislikes sitting in soggy substrate.
