Re: Alocasia of Thailand

Pete:

I was just reading over your fascinating paper on Alocasia in Thailand 
about both Alocasia cucullata and A. macrorrhizos not being valid 
species.   If this is the case and they are old cultigens, why would 
they not be properly written a Alocasia x macrorrhizos and Alocasia x 
cucullata with an appropriate cultivar name for the clone in commerce?
