Alocasia cultivars

From: DBurch2345 at aol.com on 2000.03.31 at 00:07:12(4277)
Could someone familiar with alocasia cultivars/hybrids please help with this
question.
Is there a hybrid or cultivar Alocasia 'Portadora' ( or Alocasia xportadora)?

I know that the hybrid between Alocasia odora and A. portei is in the trade
as Alocasia xportora ( or sometimes Alocasia 'Portora'), so, two questions:
1. The correct listing for "portora" (hybrid species or cultivar?)
2. Is there also a "portadora" - and, if so, how should that name be written?
