Hello Brian, Julius, and everybody else who shared
there info and insight on this beautiful plant.

The Markusii that Brian sent a link of from Hawaii
doesnt look "exactly" like the one that is growing at
Fairchild. It may very well be the same plant, since I
am no expert. But it appears that the leaf on the one
that Brian sent a link to has a softer leaf almost
like a Xanthosoma Sagitifollia when compared to an
Alocasia Odora leaf.

Here is a link to the plant that looks identical to
the one growing at Fairchild:

Again they very well may be the same plant, or a
variation of the same plant.

Thanks
Eric

Here is a link of what maybe Merkusii  but it is
listed as chamissonls I
am not sure if this is another large species in the
group in most cases
I have seen it usually is Merkusii. I did have a
great link to island
page with a young woman in front of a huge patch of
Merkusii that were
around 20 feet tall. Huge plants with massive
leaves. It seems this site
is no longer up. This was the closest I have seen to
it.
