Re: [Aroid-l] Alocasia 'Stingray' query

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.02.16 at 10:46:05(19114) Dear Jeremy, When this striking plant first made it`s appearance on the aroid scene here in S. Florida, I was told that it was an aberant form of Alocasia macrorrhiza, I THINK it was first seen in Thailand or somewhere in that region. I HOPE this helps, and that others will chime in if they have different or additional information. Good Growing in that rainy place! :--) Julius Boos, WPB,  FLORIDA HTML +More Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 09:41:01 +1100 From: drplantman@gmail.com To: aroid-l@gizmoworks.com Subject: [Aroid-l] Alocasia 'Stingray' query Hi Listers, I seem to recall that late last year there was a reference to Alocasia 'Stingray' (see image here: http://www.centralfloridafarms.com/alocasia-stingray.htm [nb: not my image or website] ), but I can't find anything in the archive search. Someone may be able to answer my query anyway, and that is does anyone know what species this is considered to be a form of?
