The leaves of both Xanthosoma & Colocasia are also peltate if they are looked based on the the position of the petiole. But from above it can be sagittate, ovate etc.
It is not Alocasia because the later has stem which can be so long. Not only inside the ground. The leaves contain a lot of oxallate crystal. It is only used for feeding gouramy fish (Osphronemus gouramy). Correct me if I am wrong.
