    I reckon a hybrid. Mick should know...
    Unfortunately the more I learn the less I trust nursury Id's.
    I seen one the other day in Townsville labelled Anthurium jenmanii and it was Chlorophytum amaniense, Fireflash!!!

    This is one I have not seen before , very nice .
    It could be a hybrid , either Orchid Jungle or the similar x sedinii or maybe wentii .
    But wentii appears to hold the foliage more horizontal than vertical.

    Ed yes it does have "purple on the underside", after looking at yours I believe we have the same Alocasia that in other post you named it "A X sedenii"

    Alfonso, I haven't heard from you for ages!! Send me an email and let me know how things are going over there.
    Yes Mick said sedenii on this thread, I just didn't make the connection till later. Yet another plant that we both have my friend...
