Re: Colocasia antiquorum

Peter,

Thanks for the info! So Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum (Schott) Hubb. & Rehder and Colocasia antiquorum Schott are now Colocasia fontanesii Schott, am I right? If so, where can I find the reference?

Hi George,

I think Steve may have got the wrong end of the stick - the problem isn't so much that antiquorum is a unique species but that it cannot be used as the name for aunique species - he next available name for which is fontanesii.

Hello Aroiders,

In his webpage on Colocasia esculenta in his "The Exotic Rainforest" website, the late Steve Lucas pointed out that "A new paper is now in the process of being published that will establish that Colocasia antiquorum is a unique species.” Has the mentioned paper been published yet?
