[Aroid-l] Aroid stamp

From: abri1973 at wp.pl (Marek Argent) on 2007.09.25 at 20:53:26(16337)
Hello,
The 16th stamp in this sheet is named "taro",
but the leaf doesn't look like Colocasia esculenta, rather like Xanthosoma sp.
What may it be? I know that artist sometimes don't see important features for botanists.

Besides I read somewhere that in various regions of the world, different species are cultivated as "taro".
Can anyone help?
