Hi Marek

 

Neither. Both are simply Colocasia esculenta, as per our previous correspondence.

 

Best

Subject: [Aroid-l] Colocasia name

 

Hello,

 

Which name is the proper one?

Colocasia esculenta var. antiquorum (Schott) C.E. Hubb. & Rehder

or

Colocasia antiquorum Schott

 

On the web (IAS, Tropicos, IPNI, CATE) I can find both combinations

and I really don't know which one should be used.

 

Best,

Marek Argent
