I got this plant through a friend. I believe it was collected in
Thailand. It looks to be a Alocasia. It's leaves are a bit thinner than
most it almost seems like a alocasia X colocasia hybrid. Anyone known
what species this is?

Hello,
It looks closely like Alocasia macrorrhiza, but its leaves are all green.
May it be a cultivar.

Brian,
Do you know if it sends out long runners at ground
level? If so... perhaps it could be that
'stoloniferous' Alocasia from SW China and Thailand
that was eventually called A. hypnosa - the pattern of
the veins looks similar. That species is 'unusual' in
that it normally goes dormant in the winter/dry
season, and has a fat rhizome and rather thin leaves.
Also, apparently, the upper part of the spathe is
reddish or purple in colour.
I know there are a few people on aroid-L who are more
familiar with this species - maybe they could chime
in?
Anyway, there's an A. hypnosa page on the IAS website:
www.aroid.org/genera/alocasia/hypnosa/
And a link to the scientific publication of A. hypnosa
(detailed description & drawings):
http://www.sekj.org/PDF/anb42-free/anb42-395.pdf
Hope this is helpful.
cheers
Eugene

Hello,
May I publish these photos in an aroid website www.araceum.prv.pl ?
Of course I would mention your name as the photographer
and if you have a website I would add a link.
Regards
Marek Argent

I have A. hypnosa and it always has multiple leaves, the one in the ID request seems only to have a single leaf. As written below, the other obvious trait is the appearance above (and below) ground of the stolons which form bulbs by the end of the growing season. One other thing I note is that the leaves almost feel like latex, they're so rubbery..... AllanEugene Hoh wrote: Brian,Do you know if it sends out long runners at groundlevel?

Hi Zach,
This looks to be Hapaline benthamiana but I'd need to see an inflorescence to be certain.

Dear Zach & All,
I think this is a Cladium.
I have the same, but with the colour red added to it.
I got it from good Julius years ago and it originated from Trinidad.
We considered a form of C . bicolor if I remember well.
Julius said also it was (another) Amerindinan (Carib ?) plant.
Cheers, Joep
