Rhaphidophora hayi
Rhaphidophora hayi is a climbing aroid from wet tropical forests of New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and northern Queensland. It grows flat against tree trunks and rocks, so give it a warm, humid spot and a moss-pole or bark surface to climb.
Rhaphidophora hayi is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Solomon Islands and the Australian state of Queensland. It is an appressed or shingling semi-epiphytic vining plant that grows in wet tropical forests.
