Very interesting to see this info on Hawaiian Taro. I have read up on a lot of it but have found little from the Chinese and Fiji taro (dalo) forms and names.

The above Colocasia often shown and mentioned in the above post is Colocasia antiquorum often known for being invasive and an aquatic species. Their are hybrids of it with esculenta and is possibly a parent plant in the older Hawaiian and other hybrid eatable varieties. Known for bluish leaf with red dot in center of the leaf of mature plants and runners usually slightly narrow more sharp leaf than esculenta which is more rounder.
