Philodendron ricardoi is a species of plant in the genus "Philodendron" native to Espírito Santo in Brazil. It is named for the Brazilian palm grower Ricardo Gonzaga Campos, who collected some original samples of the species to be studied. It has thick stems and a crown of leaves that are ovate to rotundate in shape. In natural habitat it grows in the open on rocky outcroppings, somewhat similarly to "Philodendron cipoense" of neighboring Minas Gerais state.
