Monstera deliciosa was originally thought to be in the Philodendron genus, but was subsequently determined not to be.
Philodendron selloum is a Philodendron and its deeply lobed leaves could reasonably called "split, " which is not a scientific term. For that reason it is also commonly called split leafed Philodendron. The common plant names that are commonly used are often a source of confusion because the same name is often used for entirely different species. That is why scientists use the botanical names exclusively.
