Dear Eric,
To me, your purplish Xanthosoma is one of the many forms of Xanthosoma
atrovirens. I have also seen a reddish form ("morada") and the regular
blackish form.
The "Colocasia" excalibur is, for sure, a Caladium, probably from the
group of Caladium picturatum. Julius, is this the one you brought from
Trinidad?
Very best wishes,
Eduardo.

Subject: [Aroid-l] unknown Xanthostoma with purple coloring

Here is an Xanthostoma with purple coloring on the
petioles. It doesn't get as large as the common X.
sagitiifolium and it isn't X. violaceum. Is this
possibly X. maffafa?
