RE: [Aroid-l] Xanthosoma? Please help to ID

Dear Frank,

In my opinion, it is a young Xanthosoma atrovirens. Probably it has a completely orange flesh on tubers ("chubas"?) Xanthosoma atrovirens is one of the most variable species in the genus. Completely green form are also common.

Very best wishes,

Eduardo.

Dear members,

some time ago I have bought some "taro" bulbs on Ebay. On the pictures below
is the resulting plant. I would like to know what species it could be. I
would guess it is Xanthosoma lindenii "purpurea"...What do you think.
