Alocasia lauterbachiana , New Guinea .



This very attractive species has not been readily available for a long time . Being a tropical species it is not the easiest to grow well . It can grow to a good size , but I have never personally seen one with a large trunk . I have seen a very well grown one in Bundaberg with many flowers and a good size . A nice close up picture of the stem and flower here from my files .
