ABSTRACT:

Tropical gardening has become quite popular in recent years, and with that has come a greater demand for new and interesting tropical subjects for these gardens. The Alocasia X portora and Alocasia X calidora, first described in Aroideana Vol. 6, No. 3, have both figured prominently in many of these gardens, but since those two plants were developed, we have completed a significant amount of additional hybridizing work at Aroidia Research. Some of the new plants that have resulted from this extensive work are described and illustrated herein.
