Subject: RE: [Aroid-l] Xanthosoma? Please help to ID
Dear Frank,
In my opinion, it is a young Xanthosoma atrovirens. Probably it
has a completely orange flesh on tubers ("chubas"?) Xanthosoma atrovirens is
one of the most variable species in the genus. Completely green form are
also common.
Very best wishes,
Eduardo.
