I remember that phrase! I think (correct me if I am wrong) that refers to a species perpetuating the genetic characteristics of the previous generation. Guppies produce guppies. Something like that.
 
I thought it was a developing embrio's stages resemble evolutionary stages... is that plant doing that consistently?!  Woot! new cultivar if it is

Edit: ... yes, I will admit it. That phrase is used in everyday speach in my familly, lol... I is ah odd t'ing
 
Yes, the plant was in vitro too long... Its still thinking its in tissue culture, and its still dividing!

hmmm, maybe if it keeps growing like dat, it could be a new Cultivar like Darcie Said

If you are using "Siamese" in reference to "Siamese twin"...that is very outdated term. The correct term is "conjoined"...as in conjoined twins. Siamese twin is now considered to be rude and disparaging...same as its rude to call a deaf person "deaf and dumb" (another big no-no!).

That is the Political Correctness lesson for the day.

Neat looking plant. Maybe you should try a leaf cutting of a "conjoined" leaf and see how its offspring grows.

The developing embryo goes through distinct phases similar to its evolutionary percursors. Well, it might not apply, but you can see how there is a tendency of division in that notched lamina. Think of D. schizandra, or more extremely, D. binata.
