Philodendron squamiferum, also known as Squamiferum, is a rare plant in the Araceae family, native to French Guiana, Suriname, and northern Brazil. It is a climbing plant with distinctive reddish stalks covered in small bristles, giving it a hairy appearance. Its leaves have five lobes and it is well-known for its unique appearance among Philodendrons. However, it is important to note that this plant is highly toxic due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. Ingesting it can cause various symptoms such as burning sensation, skin allergies, stomach aches, and even difficulty breathing.
