Re: alocasia 'san fernando gabi'

From: George Yao gcyao at netasia.net> on 2001.09.05 at 01:41:47(7338) Hi Dany, FYI, we also have a 'san fernando gabi' here in the Philippines and it is none other than the common Xanthosoma. It is widely cultivated for its edible tuber. As I understand, it is introduced and has naturalized very well here. It definitely is not an Alocasia. I wonder if they are the same plant and only mis-named.
