Philodendron imbe is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, thought to be extinct.[2] A climber, it was endemic to the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.[1] Houseplants sold as Philodendron imbe are most likely Philodendron acutatum (syn. Philodendron quinquenervium), or perhaps P. appendiculatum.[2]
