No, Pothos and Philodendron Brasil are two distinct and separate plants belonging to different genera. Pothos is from the Epipremnum genus and Philodendron Brasil is from the Philodendron genus. However, both belong to the Araceae plant family. The simplest way to tell both plants apart is that the leaves of many philodendrons have more soft-textured and thinner heart-shaped leaves. Pothos have thicker leaves.
