Definitely looks like a Monstera Burle Marx Flame from seeing other pics online. My understanding is there are some who conflate this with a Philo due to its climbing nature. So maybe it’s just mislabeled.

It’s a burl Marx. But people interchange monstera and philodendron names all the time. It’s not a philodendron Burl Marx that’s for sure. 😉
