Be sure and look at the first page index for Pete's work:  A reviewof Alocasia (Araceae Colocasieae) for Thailand including a novelspecies and new species records from South-West Thailand http://www.dnp.go.th/botany/PDF/publications/TFB36.pdf Steve www.ExoticRainforest.com Tony Avent wrote: Pete:I was just reading over your fascinating paper on Alocasia in Thailand about both Alocasia cucullata and A. macrorrhizos not being valid species. If this is the case and they are old cultigens, why would they not be properly written a Alocasia x macrorrhizos and Alocasia x cucullata with an appropriate cultivar name for the clone in commerce? --------------070708050101090106090109
