Cercestis mirabilis

Also known as the "African Embossed Plant," this aroid is found in multiple African rainforests and has an amazing change from juvenile to mature leaf.

Juvenile leaves are what is normally available when purchasing as a plant. They have dark green leaves with lighter green or golden sections that stand out against the darker background. It is theorized that these lighter sections are to imitate less desirable plants, to avoid being eaten.

As the plant changes from Juvenile, the leaves become larger, and the embossing gradually fades. The embossing is replaced by splits in the leaf, forming a large tri-lobe leaf.
