[Aroid-l] Alocasia identification

From: "David Broederbauer" <david.broederbauer at univie.ac.at> on 2009.03.05 at 11:25:22(19156) Hello, I have found an aroid at the botanical garden of Vienna, which was classified as Xanthosoma sagittifolium. But that's wrong, I guess. I would say its an Alocasia (basal placentation, ovules few), maybe Alocasia macrorrhizos? Here is the link to the pictures plus information: http://www.botanik.univie.ac.at/morphology/morphology/scientific/scientific.htm Any suggestion would be helpful and ,if needed, I could send more pictures or detailed informations. All the best, David +More -- Mag.
