Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia macrorrhiza or odora

Hi Asit

The naturalized Alocasia in FL is macrorrhizos (indica = macrorrhizos). The give away for macrorrhizos is that there is no 'ledge' of tissue in the leaf sinus (the open part between the lobes of the arrow-head-shaped leaf)

Eric
Thanks for sharing.
Never seen a naturalized A Macrorrhiza in a swamp.
There are many A Indica specimens growing wild around
here but not a single A Macrorrhiza.

Is this Alocasia macrorrhiza or odora in the photos?
It is growing naturalized in a nearby swampy area.
There are 2 big patches of this Alocasia.

What is the main differences between the 2 species?
