Colocasia?

9B, FL

I bought this plant as a Alocasia Macrorrhiza maroon/black stem. It puts out runners, so I don't believe it's an Alocasia. Still, I love the dark leaves and stems. I've since obtained A. Macro black stem and it is definitely not this plant. Any ideas what this one is?

That's a beauty. Could it be C. fontanesii? Are the veins on back of the leaf also dark?

Thats it Linda fontanesii. Your mac dark stem forms will have leaves that point upward.

I LOVE the dark stems... Haven't seen anything like them around here.
