Dear Pudji Ji, I thank you very much. The difference between *Xanthosoma* and *Colocasia* would help a lot, indeed. Though, in comparison to your point no.1, FoC <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=107697>, FoP <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=107697>, FoNA <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=107697> inform Leaves of *Colocasia* is ovate to ovate-cordate to sagittate-cordate!
But, that's not a big deal! Last month I have written a number of times, in various thread, that leaves of *Colocasia* are peltate! I think this should be the first point to remove *Colocasia* in this scenario and I have already written that in this very thread! So, my query was difference between *Xanthosoma* and *Alocasia*. Thank you again. Regards On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 7:10 PM, Pudji Widodo <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Surajit Ji, > > Differences between Xanthosoma & Colocasia: > 1.
