Amydrium is a genus of primarily epiphytic, climbing plants in the arum and aroid family Araceae, that is native to Southeast Asia, South China and New Guinea.[1][2][3]
Amydrium is distinguished from other members of the tribe Monstereae by having two ovules in each ovary. The seeds tend to be heart shaped. Similar to other aroid genera, the leaves of Amydrium often have perforated leaves.[4]
