Hello,

 

The 16th stamp in this sheet is named "taro",

but the leaf doesn't look like Colocasia esculenta, rather like Xanthosoma sp.

What may it be? I know that artist sometimes don't see important features for botanists.

Besides I read somewhere that in various regions of the world, different species are cultivated as "taro".

 

Can anyone help?

 

Marek Argent
