unknown aroid ID

Dear All,
I'd like to try the ID of the unknown aroid submitted by Paul Resslar
(n#126). To me, it is Xanthosoma mexicanum Liebm. from Mexico and
Guatemala. Some could name it X. pilosum Koch (from Costa Rica and
Colombia), but I consider these species as synonimous. Julius has
identificated it as X. pubescens Poepp., a species from northern South
America, but the true X. pubescens has more lateral ribs (10-18), while
X.mexicanum has 5 or 6.
Best Wishes,
Eduardo.
