When I first saw the Black Magic that puts out runners (which people have decided to call Black Runner in the past year or two), I thought I saw a slight difference in the leaves, but you really had to squint. Now Plant Delights is selling it as Black Ruffles. I think the ruffled aspect depends on the temperature when the picture is taken.

Another black Colocasia is C. multiflora "Midnight." It used to be on the NCSU site in Alan Galloway's collection, but there's a password login on that site now.

Here's a little pic from google's cache.
