Alocasia brancifolia/Alocasia nishihiri

From: Leslie Georgeson <skinnychick2 at yahoo.com> on 2009.06.17 at 15:30:25(19424) This is one for the Alocasia experts: Can anyone tell me the difference, if any, between Alocasia brancifolia and Alocasia nishihiri? Are they simply the same plant with two different names, or two separate, but similar, plants? Or has one name now replaced the other? Please help! Thank you!

From: Peter Boyce <phymatarum at googlemail.com> on 2009.06.21 at 09:10:29(19430) HiLeslie, Thereis no such name as Alocasia nishihiri (nishihira); by this I mean that the namehas never been formally published. All images I have seen are A. brancifolia.
