Alocasia longiloba

Alocasia longiloba is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae.

[2] The complex has a widespread distribution; Guangdong, Hainan, and southern Yunnan in China, mainland Southeast Asia, and western and central Malesia.

[1] In the houseplant trade, many of the former species that were subsumed into Alocasia longiloba are now considered types or varieties, these include 'argyrea', 'korthalsii', 'lowii', and 'watsoniana'.

[3] The placement and validity of such varieties, and of any potential hybrids and cultivars within the complex is unclear, including 'Jackrabbit' and 'Thibautians'.

[3][4] Similarly, a cross of Alocasia lowii with the kris plant Alocasia sanderiana produced Alocasia × mortfontanensis, which may or may not be the same as the well-known hybrid Alocasia × amazonica, the African mask, formed by crossing A. sanderiana and Alocasia watsoniana, with the only certain parent in either cross being A. sanderiana.
