Re: Alocasia reticulata??

Steve,

When I first saw this Alocasia at the now long ago closed Fantastic

Gardens nursery of Miami in 1981 it was sold as Alocasia zebrina cv

Reticulata.

This specimen was given to me by collector Teri Baber with the tag

"Alocasia reticulata". However, even though I've found this plant

on the web with that name, I cannot find a species with the name on

any of the botanical sources. Would one of you Alocasia experts

out there tell me if this is a species or possibly a hybrid? I'm

also curious if the name possibly originated in one of Graf's

books. If it is a species, what is the correct name. And if the

name Alocasia reticulata is a hybrid name can someone direct me to

the source? It appears to resemble Alocasia zebrina but I can't be

certain.

Thanks!
