Description
-That was seen in a resort in bantayan. I have no means of knowing its status at this time. (Martyr, J. C.; Jun 2021) (1)
-Probably A. zebrina. (Yao, G.; Aug 2017) (1)
-This one needs dissection of the inflorescence to confirm A.zebrina. We have one unknown/undescribed species related to this one and Alocasia zebrina and we are still constantly monitoring and observing the inflorescence before making initial description. (Cabactulan, D.; Aug 2017) (1)
