Alocasia pangeran

A Bornean forest-floor Alocasia described by Alistair Hay in 1998 in his revision of the West Malesian species. Little is published about it beyond the original description, so this profile rests on its recorded sites in Sabah and Sarawak and on what is known of related lowland Bornean Alocasia. Grow it warm, shaded and very humid.

Where it grows wild

A terrestrial herb of lowland rainforest in Borneo. Specific microhabitat notes were not available to us; related Bornean species grow in shade on the forest floor, often on slopes and stream banks.

No elevations on the records. The two measured sites are at about 120 m and 190 m, so treat it as a lowland plant.
