Got this recently from a nursery where they have called it Caladium bicolour and also said it's medicinal. Wanted to reconfirm.

Thanks.

I do have some Maranta's and this one looks different. More like a Caladium.

Dear Devi Nair et al,

I would rate this as C. affinis var. jenningsii, especially since it is circulating as an ornamental in a nursery.

But without floral details it is hard to make very definite statements an comparisons with other variegated species of Colocasia. I'm sure this is not C. fallax, but not sure that it is not C. heterochroma!

Please tell the nursery they have a Colcoasia, not Caladium!

Peter
