Some of my Xanths are IDed.
Others are not. Please feel free to chime in re: the IDs or to add your own pics!
I have a few to download so it will take a few minutes to finish posting.
Xanthosoma atrovirens 'Mickey Mouse'
Xanthosoma...have any good pics?
Xanthosoma Saggittifolia
These get huge. Mine is only 2 feet high.
Xanthosoma violacea
Absolutely beautiful! It looks great next to my Colocasia Fontanesii and Big Dipper, which both have purple stems too.
Xanthosoma wendlandii
Weird but true...it is a Xanth or so I am told.....
Note, it is in bloom right now.
Xanthosoma 'Golden Delicious'.
Looks great with red coleus!
Xanthosoma No ID #1
It might be violacea but the leaves look more rounded.
Xanthosoma No ID #2
The stems are bluish green.
Xanthosoma jeoquinii lineatum?
I have this labeled as such, but it seems to be missing the distinctive white lines on the leaves.
Xathosoma No ID #3
Picked this up in Belize. I have had it for 3 years and it just forms clumps but doesn't get taller than 12".

Xanthosoma No ID#5
Picked this up in Kauai. The parent plant had pretty prominent yellow veining.
Xanthosoma robusta?
Xanthosoma No ID#6
Picked this up in Kauai too.
Nice pics Rox, your lineatum is missing it's white wrinkled lines. isn't it.
I have no clue on the rest of them. Hope you get them I'd'd
You know, I probably have two illustrus on my other thread. since they both look the same.
Xanth Blue Giant, although it's not much of a giant, yet. It'll be interesting to see what it does.

Xanthosoma Saggittifolia
Xanthosoma sagittifolium variegata
it's my favorite!
Brasilense
Well Rox I love the pics as for the unknown ID forms. It may take sometime to get some ID on them. Atroverins and robusta seem very similar and have tons of forms even the experts get them mixed up. I believe a few unknown forms will end up look like them.
Here are some of my photos to add to the collection.
Xanthosoma Mexicanum
Xanthosoma helleborifolium
Xanth robustum with streaked stems
Expert said this was robustum but I believe later he changed his mind. The stems were blue with powder on them much like violaceum but a completely different blue color
I believe this one is called blumpea or something similar I have lost the full name to the tag but it is ID their seems to be no full species list on the net. This is a small grower with neon pink rhizomes and dark green leaves nice white and pink flowers.
I am currently growing this guy and some say it may be Dracontium caladium or even chlorospatha I have been told it is a xanthosoma. I am waiting for a flower to get a proper ID on it.
Xanth spotted form maybe muculata maybe not. I have seen this form with both pink and white spots. I will post a pic of the pink spotted form next.
pink spotted form
xanth striatipes
uknown form
collected form
xanth plowmanii
this unknown form has corrigated like leaves and white viens I have never seen one like it before.
Xanthosoma appengifolia has a small leaf attacked to the under side of the leaf. Looks to be a form of atroverins.
xanthosoma palmatum unknown possible hybrid? cupped up leaves.
mutation off of albo marginata atroverins
unknown form ?
collected forms at botanical garden! I have a few photos of forms ranging from velevet dark leaves to spear like leaves in the photos.
collected forms
this one really caught my eye with dark velvet leaves. I grew it for awhile but it died a few years back.
collected froms
This is a picture of one of the very few xanthosoma hybrids ever made. A good friend of mine breed this a few years back he had a few spotted forms and some with blue and pink stripes. Hopefully we will see more of these around.
