Anyone know this aroid?

Keaau, HI(Zone 11)

I received this in a trade years ago...it was supposed to be Alocasia Black Magic...which it isn't but I LOVE it....and would like to know what it is. The whole plant stands about 8-10' tall and is starting to pup. Here is the top of the leaf. I would really appreciate y'alls expert ID.

Alocasia plumbea also known as metallica. Their is a white stem form which produces some variegated blotches in the leaves and this dark stem form.
