Colocasia dibangensis

A Colocasia described by Gogoi & Borah from the Dibang Valley in Arunachal Pradesh, north-east India. It is known almost only from its protologue. The automatic climate site landed at 3,400 m in western Arunachal, far too cold for any Colocasia, so this profile uses the typical warm, monsoonal conditions of the Dibang foothills instead.

Where it grows wild

Presumably moist forest, forest margins or stream banks in the Dibang Valley, as for related north-east Indian Colocasia. There are no habitat details in accessible records.

Unknown. The Dibang Valley's lower forests lie at roughly 400–1,500 m. The measured site at 3,376 m is a region stand-in and not a real locality.
