Alocasia ID help please

From: plantguy at zoominternet.net> on 2005.06.24 at 11:59:03(13037) HI all, I received a couple of Alocasia (I guess that is what they are) with no IDs. I really know nothing about Alocasia (or Colocasia or Xanthosoma for that matter) and so all help will be greatly appreciated!! These are from India, although I have no idea where, but I'm working on that. I posted pics at the following sites: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/aroid/hpgal0619451418857.jpg http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/aroid/hpgal0619471920320.jpg Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, Dan +More Dan Devor Gibsonia, PA a real hot zone 6a right now!! _______________________________________________ Aroid-l mailing list Aroid-l@gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

If you have a problem with the ID, you can always send photos to the ID Center (available from the www.aroid.org and www.araceum.prv.pl homepages. +More However these photos should be rather taken by you or someone who allows you to post them.

From: plantguy at zoominternet.net> on 2005.06.26 at 01:27:22(13055) Hi All, Thanks to everyone that helped me sort this out!!! The violaceum is a pretty plant I must say. Hopefully I can store the tuber for the winter without too many problems so that it will get nice and big next summer, although I have high hopes yet for this year with the heat we are getting!!

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2005.06.28 at 16:30:27(13064) Dear Dan In my opinion both are Xanthosomas. The first link is X. violaceum (or a hibrid of it that I have seen recently in Brazil) and the second one seems to be the true X. sagittifolium. Very best wishes, Eduardo. +More Dr. Eduardo G.
