Alocasia macrorrhizos 'Aurea Variegata'

A yellow-variegated form of giant taro (Alocasia macrorrhizos): the large, glossy leaves are marbled and sectored with lime, chartreuse and golden yellow instead of white. With time it forms a trunk and grows large. Collector's note: it is sold as 'Alocasia macrorrhiza Aurea Variegata', 'Yellow Variegated' and sometimes 'odora Batik Aurea' – names of yellow-marbled variegated Alocasias are heavily mixed up. Macrorrhizos leaves are usually larger, glossier and softer than those of odora.
