Philodendron linnaei is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae. It is native to wet tropical areas of South America. A hemi-epiphyte and climber with obovate leaves, it has found some use as a slow-growing houseplant. Its growth alternates between long, thin, leafless zones between much shorter and thicker zones with globular clusters of leaves.
