    I picked this up at the nursery for $7.50. I thought it was a bargain. Can anyone id it for me please. Possibly from A cuprea and A longiloba parentage???

    My mate Brid Id'd it for me. It is Alocasia X sedenii, or certainly looks like it to me. It was in Aroideana Volume 7 No 3 & 4. Great looking plant...

    I "popped in" Joclyn and I haven't a clue. Mic is much better with Alocasia species as is LariAnn. Ed, is the blade coriaceous (thick)?
