Subject: [Aroid-l] Alocasia 'Black Magic'
Dear Friends, I
have bought a small Alocasia with a trade name 'Black Magic'.
It is very small now, the largest leaf blade is 14 cm.
I append photos of this plant taken with and without flashlight.
When photographed with flash the leaf surfac
e reflects red. It also reflects red when it is di
sposed to direct sunlight. There are red cells(?) not v
isible under low light. The ad
axial leaf surface is very dark green, almost black, the
abaxial is maroon brown, petioles are light brown wit
h lighter longitudinal dots 1x2 mm. The peltate leaf
base wraps the petiole. Do you
think it is a species? How large does it grow?
I attach photos taken using var
ious lighting. Best,
Marek Argent
