Photo of Alocasia?

It looks like an Alocasia to me, the locals call it German Taro. It's commonly grown in village gardens in PNG for food. The northeast used to be a German colony early last century so they probably brought it in from elsewhere, but it's still being grown. Saw lots of plants in many different places and the one in the photo is about the biggest around.
