Araceae

The Araceae family includes over 3,700 species and about 140 genera, among them Monstera, Anthurium, and Philodendron. They are characterized by a spadix inflorescence, usually accompanied by a spathe. The greatest diversity is found in the tropics of the Americas and Asia, spanning epiphytes, climbers, and terrestrials.
Fun fact: some aroids, like Philodendron bipinnatifidum or Amorphophallus titanum, can raise their internal temperature up to 10 °C above ambient to attract pollinators (thermogenesis).
