[Aroid-l] Taro

From: criswick at spiceisle.com (criswick) on 2007.09.28 at 11:09:12(16352) In my opinion the depiction is merely inaccurate in portraying a taro leaf (Colocasia) because the artist was working more from memory than life. The pineapple top and coconut trees are similarly memorized. So it is a generalized image, like the term "Elephant Ear", and may have suggestions of Xanthosoma as well as of Colocasia.
