Dear Paul,
 Your plant is Xanthosoma pubescens, it is common in E.Ecuador.   Some people 
call it "Caladium" pubescens, and the two genera are close, Xanthosoma having 
the pollen in tetrads while Caladium has single round pollen grains.  Check 
the pollen under a microscope to be certain.  
        Reguards,
                       Julius.  ju-bo@msn.com
