Yes, Sir, I agree with Pudji ji's id determination. Maybe one reason for not flowering is that the place is relatively dry ?
Here they grow (or perhaps were planted by our forebearers) around ponds or DOBA (unmaintained waterbody, smaller than pond). In this summer season they are the size of a *Colocasia esculenta*, but during and after the rainy season they are gigantic in comparison to *Colocasia*. *Xanthosoma sagittifolium* is an enduring plant (*Colocasia* too), once someone places a rhizome in the ground (or even on a wet surface) it will grow years after years, even if you cut aerial parts regularly Only leaves and petioles are eaten here. Thank you. Best regards, Surajit Koley On Thu, 29 Apr 2021 at 16:10, J.M.
