The colocasia is not fontanesii which has a much shinner leaf. This Colocasia is the one going under a few names Colocasia miranda , Cranberry , violet stem or violet stem form. Their is a violet stem form with regular looking leaves. This plant as it matures the leaves will get crinkled and have a bit of a velvet feel to them. I am not sure where it originated possibly Hawaii but I have not seen a Hawaiian name on it ever. Here is a picture I have of mine.
