Alocasia cochinchinensis

Alocasia cochinchinensis is a Pierre name that Engler and Krause published in 1920 only in synonymy, not as a separate species. The epithet refers to Cochinchina (southern Vietnam). No wild records exist under this name, so the care here is generic for lowland Indochinese Alocasia.
