A friend of mine sent me this "indoor rainforest" shot from San Francisco.


Thumb of 2022-09-20/Humboldt/19df7c

Any ideas what the Philodendron/Alocasia/Syngonium looking leaves are?

Mostly on the left, heart shaped with white lines.

I suspect you referring the Anthurium crystallinum ?

There are at least three aroids there I think.
The one I think as Anthurium crystallinum are marked in yellow, you can see it's inflorescence marked in orange.
The one up above (marked in red) seems different, could be some sort of Philodendron (P. gloriosum or other heart-shape Philo), Remusatia vivipara or other aroid, need clearer detailed picture to be sure. There are so many aroids that are truly look-a-like, especially from a distance.
The plain green aroid below (marked in blue) is another Anthurium sp. it could be A. andreanum, or other foliage type Anthurium, again need detailed picture to be sure.

I think the one in blue may be the top of an A vietchii

Ah..Yes.., a better chance will be A. veitchii. The wrinkled and seems narrow foliage will be consistent with A. veitchii.
A. andreanum with popping colored spathe will be too bright and less harmonious in this foliage themed display.
