Subject: [Aroid-l] Alocasia reticulata??
This specimen was given to me by collector Teri Baber with the tag
"Alocasia reticulata". However, even though I've found this plant on
the web with that name, I cannot find a species with the name on any of
the botanical sources. Would one of you Alocasia experts out there tell
me if this is a species or possibly a hybrid? I'm also curious if the
name possibly originated in one of Graf's books. If it is a species,
what is the correct name. And if the name Alocasia reticulata is a
hybrid name can someone direct me to the source? It appears to resemble
Alocasia zebrina but I can't be certain.
Thanks!
