Alocasia ID? Or Xanthosoma?

From: "Adao Pereira" miguelporto at mail.telepac.pt> on 2000.01.21 at 19:37:40(4017)
Hello all!
Does anyone know which species is the Alocasia that is commonly cultivated
throughout Europe? It has big leaves about 1 meter in length and it produces
several flowers in summer, the spathe is white, about 20 cm long. I uploaded
two photos of mine:

Or is this a Xanthosoma?
Thanks,
Miguel
