Philodendron hastatum is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron.[1] The species has previously been known by synonyms such as Philodendron domesticum or other names,[2][3] a confusion made worse by the large degree of morphological variation in this and similar Philodendrons.[4] Commonly known as the silver sword philodendron,[5] the plant is known for its silvery coloration, especially in juvenile leaves.[6]
