Colocasia fallax Schott, Bonplandia (Hannover) 7: 28 1859 (syn: Colocasia heterochroma H.Li & Z.X.Wei; Colocasia kerrii Gagnep.; Colocasia tibetensis J.T.Yin; Colocasia yunnanensis C.L.Long & X.Z.Cai) ?; Caladium for ID : 10 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (1). Got this recently from a nursery where they have called it Caladium bicolour and also said it's medicinal. Wanted to reconfirm. It is Maranta leuconeura kerchoveana. Thank you very much. Is it medicinal? No idea ... I do have some Maranta's and this one looks different. More like a Caladium. This is Colocasia fallax Schott. Appears like Princess Taro 'Jenningsii' (Colocasia affinis) as per http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/251029/ Is it Colocasia heterochroma??? It looks more like Colocasia affinis and Colocasia heterochroma. Hope somebody can confirm. References: The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP IAS |
