Re: Colocasia name

Hello Peter,

I'm confused. Isn't Colocasia antiquorum SCHOTT a valid species? At least in Li Heng's and your treatment in the Flora of China it is.

Best,
David

Hi Marek

 

Neither. Both are simply Colocasia esculenta, as per our previous correspondence.

Hello,

 

Which name is the proper one?

Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum (Schott) C.E. Hubb. & Rehder

or

Colocasia antiquorum Schott

 

On the web (IAS, Tropicos, IPNI, CATE) I can find both combinations

and I really don't know which one should be used.

 

Best,

Marek Argent
