Dear Miguel,
I believe your plant is Alocasia macorrhiza. It is NOT a species of
Xanthosoma!!

>>Hello all!
Does anyone know which species is the Alocasia that is commonly cultivated
throughout Europe? It has big leaves about 1 meter in length and it produces
several flowers in summer, the spathe is white, about 20 cm long. I uploaded
two photos of mine:

Or is this a Xanthosoma?
Thanks,
