Alocasia fallax

An Alocasia of Assam, Bangladesh and the eastern Himalaya, described by Schott in 1859. It lives with a monsoon climate: hot, very wet summers and a cool, dry winter, so it grows in summer and slows in winter.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were reachable. Presumably a terrestrial herb of moist, shaded forest in the lowlands and foothills.

No records carry an elevation. One of the three representative climate points is at 3376 m in the eastern Himalaya, far above any plausible Alocasia site.
