Re: black colocasia

From: Gabe Thomas <cdanielle at prodigy.net> on 1997.08.27 at 02:42:10(1101) I have Alocasia sanderiana which is labled 'african mask' Krysztof Kozminski says mine is probably really A. x amaxonica. Both are a very dark green with thick silver-grey veins, looking at mine right now I supose you could call it black. I've also seen A. micholitziana labled african mask, but it is an ochre-emerald green with chalk white rayed midribs (I nominate it a spectacular aroid).
