Alloschemone
''Alloschemone'' is a genus of evergreen root climbing plants in the family Araceae that is native to the Amazon region of Bolivia and Brazil. There are only two species in the genus and both are extremely rare. These two species are '' Alloschemone occidentalis'' and '' Alloschemone inopinata''. At one point in history, the genus ''Alloschemone'' was dissolved and added to ''Scindapsus ''Scindapsus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae.

Monsteroideae
Monsteroideae is a subfamily of flowering plants in the family Araceae. This subfamily is notable for having many trichosclereids in the vegetative and floral parts of the plants, but rarely in the roots.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Araceae
The Araceae are a family of monocotyledonous flowering plants in which flowers are borne on a type of inflorescence called a spadix. The spadix is usually accompanied by, and sometimes partially enclosed in, a spathe (or leaf-like bract). Also known as the arum family, members are often colloquially known as aroids. This family of 140 genera and about 4,075 known species is most diverse in the New World tropics, although also distributed in the Old World tropics and northern temperate regions. Many species display very decorative leaves and flowers, and they are widely used for gardening; popular as indoor plants and also outdoor plants where climates are mild, and winter freezes will not generally occur. However, some temperate species are also very popular in Mediterranean-climate gardening, or in moderately cool temperate zones, such as ''Zantedeschia''.

Scindapsus
''Scindapsus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae. It is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Queensland, and a few western Pacific islands. The species ''Scindapsus pictus'' is common in cultivation. ''Scindapsus'' is not easily distinguishable from ''Epipremnum''. The main difference between the two genera is in the number of seeds they produce. ''Scindapsus'' species have one ovule in each ovary whereas ''Epipremnum'' species have a few. The seeds of ''Scindapsus'' are rounded to slightly kidney-shaped. The plants are primarily root climbing vines. History of the name Claudius Aelianus (Aelian, 2-3 cc., ''De Natura Animalium'' XII.44-46, XVII.18), uses the word in relation to an Indian musical instrument used for taming the wild elephants.Bown, Deni (2000).
