It is in the fourth photgraph of Noel's in the center growing along a trunk. Light green laced with some dark, the mid vein and the side veins are prominent. The prominent side veins give me the impression that this leaf will slit along the side veins when more mature. Now if it does slit then it can either be a Phil or a Monstera. Even though the family is same ARACEAE but now we have a sub family with Monstera, Monsteroideae which goes further to a tribe, Monstereae? Any way non of this in Jonna list so we can forget Monstera. Now what catches my eye on that list compared to Noel's leaf(wonder when he will post the rest) is Philodendron verrucosum. Now see this link

The shape is the same and as far as I can make out the mid veins count is about correct. The play between the dark and the light green striations is also correct. Now Noel's leaf is under low light conditions while leaf in the link is growing under more light. As to slitting latter on Shrug! no experience with verrucosum. The leaf which is the topic on the other forum reminds me of Philodendron wittianum. See the shape posted on that forum and the shape of wittianum.
Regards I tip my hat to you.
Arif.
