Philodendron giganteum is a species of plant in the Araceae family. It is found in the Caribbean and South America. Heinrich Wilhelm Schott first described it in 1856.[1][2] P. giganteum inflorescences are thermogenetic and emit a sweet odor.[3] In the English-speaking Caribbean, this plant may be called Elephant Ear[4][5] or Chinny Leaf.[4][6]
