MONSTERA ‘AUSSIE DREAM’
PARENTAGE:
Monstera adansonii × Monstera deliciosa var. borsigiana
ORIGIN:
Australia; deliberate cross, released 5 June 2026
HYBRIDIZER:
Neil and Lisa Paterson, Odd Spot Plants, SE Queensland, Australia
NOTES:
Breeder's own account. 23 seedlings were raised from the cross and grown on over several seasons; the released clone is the one labelled seedling number 8, chosen for rounder, more symmetrical leaves with evenly spaced fenestrations. PBR pending. Which parent bore the seed is not stated, so OVULE and POLLEN are left empty rather than inferred. No botanical name is published for this cross: a hybrid formula is not a name under the ICN, and a cultivar name falls under the ICNCP, so its absence from POWO and IPNI is expected and is not evidence against it.
