Inflorescences - Alocasia scabriuscula - Elephant's Ear Little by little I am finding new species names for my sightings in North East Borneo in 2015. This plant was found in Tabin. Next picture shows the entire plant.<br /> To be honest my ID is still speculative, based on the inflorescences. The leaves in the next picture make me doubt...the only thing I am sure of is that it is an Alocasia :-)<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/93166/alocasia_scabriuscula_-_elephants_ear.html" title="Alocasia scabriuscula - Elephant&#039;s Ear"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2298/93166_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=Gr%2BJCCyYiHna%2FhDdOtyG0TQ33As%3D" width="122" height="152" alt="Alocasia scabriuscula - Elephant&#039;s Ear Alocasia scabriuscula,Elephant&#039;s Ear,Geotagged,Malaysia,Summer" /></a></figure> Alocasia scabriuscula,Elephant's Ear,Geotagged,Malaysia,Summer Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro

      Yes, and at least the genus is Ok. I am doubtful because of the leaves that look like Alocasia macrorrhiza as well but I cannot find pictures of the inflorescences that look alike for the latter. I am selecting our Borneo pics from 2015 for Flickr albums and once in a while I get a new species name :-) Posted 5 years ago
