Thank you Saroj Ji. This is very useful for me. I forgot to check it in theplantlist.org. .I an afraid this a similar case to C.frutescens which is regarded as the synonym of C. annuum. However based on morphological & other characteristics finally it is placed as C. frutescens. Your information is very-very useful to me. I become curious with both Alocasia, there are splitter and lumper taxonomists. Thank you.

Best Wishes,
