Greetings Saroj ji, This looks very unusual to me, though it is hard to judge colour in the lighting (camera flash?).
The spathe and spadix have a general shape similar to what I have seen in certain wild C. esculenta populations (with very long upper spathe), but your spathe appears almost translucent and white... we can see the upper spadix through the spathe membrane it seem. The bade is also peculiar, narrowing towards the rear with shallow sinus, and with few lateral ribs, but the lamina is broadly similar to most Colocasia spp. I suspect this is something in the group of species that are close to C. esculenta in evolutionary terms, but would need to look at the chloroplast sequence to place it in that group. Does this plant have stolons, or side corms, or erect stems with buds that form new stems directly (this last form of vegetative growth may be hard to confirm if the buds are shy sprouting). Do you have any photos in natural daylight? Thanks, Peter ________________________________________ From: J.M.
