Another very old scanned picture taken on way to Darjeeling, on the mountain slope.

Could this be Remusatia species?

I agree with you.

Thanks ... Can it be Remusatia pumila?

I would have thought of this to be as common as Colocasia esculenta.

Given the almost completely peltate character of the leaf more likely Colocasia affinis var. jenningsii
