Alocasia salarkhanii

A Bangladeshi Alocasia described by Ara and Hassan in 2018 and known only from Bangladesh. GBIF has no wild records, so the climate here is for a regional centroid near Dhaka, not a known locality. Grow it as a warm, monsoon-climate forest Alocasia with a drier, cooler winter.
