A Vietnamese Alocasia named by Chantrier in 1939. No wild GBIF records exist, so the climate here comes from a representative point in central Vietnam and should be read as a rough guide only.

Where it grows wild

The wild habitat is not documented in the sources we could reach. Like most Indochinese Alocasia it is probably a terrestrial herb of moist, shaded forest.

Unknown. The representative point used for the climate is at about 120 m.
