Re: Fw: Unknown Alocasia

Dear friends,
 
My first guess was simply A. macrorrhizos,
but the problem was that I've never seen a real adult plant,
that's why I forwarded the photos here instead of making a page in the ID Center.
However Ms. LariAnn suggested A. brisbanensis and it made me doubtful.
She's been working for many years with this genus, so I can only watch and learn.

Dear Marek:

            Is this not just Alocasia macorrhiza?

Hello,

 

I have this Alocasia some years now, it is of unknown origin (found the plant in a friend's garden together with A. odora). Flowers resemble A. odora, but the spathe is more pointy towards its apex.

The plant is upright, hardy, forms a "trunk" (much like A. odora, but faster for the same conditions). Leaf blade has a maximum length of 1 meter (3feet) in perfect conditions. Usually half of this.
