Well their are a few that fit into this odd group of Colocasias. Your top photo looks more similar to the species Colocasia heterchroma. The truth is it seems their are some natural hybrids floating around in this group as well as other clones. In my research on these I have found at least 7 unique forms in this group such as Fallax, Affinis, Heterchroma. They all seem very closely related and have similar habits. All though the do not have some of the same structures this group also seems to be closely related to Remustia and some look very similar. As for the theory on Colocasia Illustris I personally believe it was a natural hybrid dealing with one of these smaller species.
I have other photos of similar species but I believe Joe Wright did a great job with his scanning of the leaves shown here.
