Philodendron × joepii is a naturally occurring hybrid species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, endemic to French Guiana.[1][2] Philodendron bipennifolium and P. pedatum are thought to be its parents.[2] Its specific epithet is derived from its collector Joep Moonen, who discovered it in 1991 along the Maroni River.[1][3] Prized by aroid enthusiasts for its unusual scalloped leaves, it is available from specialty retailers.[3]
