A reply: "My impression is that this has somewhat rounded blades more like those of Alocasia odora, which is best known in subtropical East Asia (southern Japan, Taiwan, China, N. Vietnam). The western limit of A. odora is not known, but likely extends west at higher altitudes as the latitude gets lower.
Is this plant widespread in Assam, and at what altitudes? Peter Dr Peter J.
