Philodendron billietiae [(bi·lli·et·i·ae) pronounced “bili ətiā”)] is a hemi-epiphytic species of plant in the genus Philodendron native to Brazil, Guyana, and French Guiana.[1] A relatively recent discovery in 1995, P. billietiae is known especially for its distinctive orange-yellow petioles and wavy, ridged leaf edges.[2] Philodendron billietiae is commonly mistaken for Philodendron burle-marxii due to their similar structure and coloration.[citation needed]
