Hello Carol;
Found an intersting plant, this is a ground cover growing mostly under a tree. Leaves are about 2 to 3 inches in size. I need help IDing this one.
Thanks,

Hello Terry;
Yes you did find an interesting plant, it is a Pothos and the best description I have found comes from the University of Florida's Mid-Florida Research & Education Center Pothos Production Guide:

"POTHOS
This plant must have a criminal background, it has so many aliases. Exotica and Tropica show pictures of several Scindapsus and Epipremnum species and Hortus III also lists species of Scindapsus and Epipremnum. Sales catalogs feature names like Devil's Ivy and Golden Pothos. The current name is Epipremnum aureum (alias Scindapsus aureus alias Pothos aureus). `Golden Pothos' is a golden, yellow-green variegated vine with waxy leaves. When grown in optimum conditions, such as the tropics, leaves will grow to two feet in length. `Marble Queen' has smooth waxy leaves with white variegation. A third "Pothos" is still botanically described as Scindapsus. Scindapsus pictus usually goes by the name of Pictus and has thick leatherlike leaves, obliquely ovate, dark green with green-silver blotches."

Terry, this plant has been and still is a staple of the foliage industry here in Florida. It is grown in pots, hanging baskets, and on totem poles. Used as a house plant ONLY, it is fine addition to any interior planting. Pothos comes from the tropics, the picture you have sent is of a plant with juvenile leaves, that is the leaves are small, around 2 to 3 inches, but when the plant matures, it climbs vigorously and the leaves grow to easily exceed 2 feet.

Unfortunately, it has been planted here in the south Florida landscape where it has escaped cultivation. You can regularly find it growing up trees including native trees where the mature form leaves (2') strangle and eventually kill the trees. It is also on the FLEPPC (Florida Invasive Pest Plant Council) list of invasive-exotic plants. If this planting is under your control, I would recommend getting rid of it ASAP.
