Alocasia regina

A Bornean Alocasia named by N.E. Brown in 1884 from a plant in the horticultural trade. GBIF lists it as accepted but Kew's checklist gave no distribution for it, and almost nothing on its wild habitat is published. Its few records are lowland Bornean forest, so grow it warm, shaded and very humid.
