If the stem is red or dark it would most likely be Alocasia rubra Macrorrhiza a red stem form. It would help out a lot if you knew were it was from? It would be very hard to ID until mature unless you know were you got it? It is definatly a Alocasia and the only common dark stems forms I have seen are Mac Rubra and Odora purple stem form and plumbea . Here is a pic of Alocasia mac rubra. This is my plant and it would be sometime before you could tell if this is the same as yours. .
