Those are different types of Beryl.

Thanks to Steve, a misconception in Hawaiian botany (and hopefully elsewhere) has been corrected.

Previously, Epipremnum aureum had been lumped into Epipremnum pinnatum 'Aureum'.
Steve explained the difference in the two species, and exposed a widespread textual error.

Yesterday I found the two very different species in the field!

Here is <i>Epipremnum pinnatum
in the Wa'a Wa'a kipuka in lower Puna.
Notice the deeply cut (pinnate) leaves.
