Alocasia lauterbachiona. I picked this up at a local nursery a few weeks ago. I've done a google search on it and it came up with nothing. Of course, I forgot to take an over all pic of it, but it's growing in about a nursery gallon pot.

Leaves are a darker bluish green color. Stems are speckled brownish/burgundy with light to medium yellow green. Backside of leaves have a burgundy cast to them. Longest leaf so far is maybe a foot long or so with a petiole about the same (guesstimating). I don't have any idea of eventual size, though - all were about this size at the nursery.
