Thaumatophyllum bipinnatifidum (common names: split-leaf philodendron,[1] lacy tree philodendron, selloum, horsehead philodendron,[2] guaimbé[citation needed]) is a plant in the genus Thaumatophyllum, in the family Araceae. Previously it was classified in the genus Philodendron within subgenus Meconostigma.
