It may be an Alocasia or Caladium sp., lots of mislabeling in the Hort. buisness. The only Xanthosoma that I know of w/ 'dots' is a small wild species called X. conspurcatum that we saw in Fr. Guyane, it had white dots/spots on its leaves. Please keep us informed if you obtain or have ANY information on where you first saw this name applied to a Xanthosoma sp.

I'm not the one who aquired it. I'll try and send a photo and maybe it can be identified.
