Alocasia grata

A small to medium Myanmar Alocasia described in 1920, with a short stem 2–3 cm thick, petioles 60–80 cm long and thinly leathery arrow-shaped leaves 32–36 cm long. There are no GBIF records, so conditions come from a representative central Myanmar monsoon climate and should be treated as approximate.
