Philodendron hastatum

Philodendron hastatum is a species of plant in the genus Philodendron.[1] The species has previously been known by synonyms such as Philodendron domesticum or other names,[2][3] a confusion made worse by the large degree of morphological variation in this and similar Philodendron.[4] Commonly called "Silver Sword Philodendron", the plant is known for its silvery coloration especially in juvenile leaves.[5]
