Dear Garg Ji,

I send you our picture of Alocasia macrorrhizos for comparison.  The leaves of yours are peltate, our leaves are not.

Hi, Pudji ji,

You mean to say that Marc ji's images are not of Alocasia macrorrhizos (L.) G.Don ?

Dear Garg Ji,

As far as I understand, If the tuber is not edible (contains too high oxalate crystal) then it is Alocasia macrorrhizos.  If it is edible then it is Xanthosoma sagittifolium.

Yours Sincerely,

Yes i agree with Pudji ji.

This is Xanthosoma sagittifolium.

In Alocasia macrorrhizos leaves are much stiff and straight as seen in Pudji ji images.
