Red. Whitish could perhaps refer to the fruiting spathe of some
(Bornean)species that are quite often misidentified as A.
macrorrhizos.

Aroiders:
Has anyone seen mature fruit on Alocasia macrorrhiza and if so
what color are the berries. I have them reported as whitish though I
honestly don't know where I came up with this and a reviewer of my
description says he thinks they may be orange. I would really
appreciate a reply from anyone who has more intimate knowledge of this
species.
