Common names can cause a lot of confusion sometimes. Many plants have the same common name and yet may be from entirely different families and require entirely different care.

Swiss Cheese Plant (Monstera obliqua 'Leichtlinii') also has the common name of Split Leaf Philodendron.

Some also know Tree Philodendron (Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum) (synonym P. selloum) as Split Leaf Philo.

I have also heard folks at garden centers refer to Thaumatophyllum xanadu as Split Leaf Philodendron.
