'Lime Zinger' - Xanthosoma or Alocasia

Athens, OH

The plant files have a listing for Alocasia 'Lime Zinger'.
Is this correct or should the file be merged with the Xanthosoma 'Golden Delicious' aka 'Lime Zinger' file?

Let's discuss this and come to a consensus (if possible).

Rox, I'm not sure I should even say because I don't know the correct classification, but the Alocasia listing threw me in PF. I've always known it as a Xanth.

The name "Alocasia Lime Zinger" is simply incorrect. There is no "Lime Zinger" that is an Alocasia. The Alocasia listing should be deleted, not merged with the correct Xanthosoma listing.

Ooops! I just posted a photo fo X. Lime Zinger under that Alocasia listing in PF. Didn't know where else since I didn't find the Golden Delicious. Hmmm. What to do...

Notify the admins using the "Error" button on the wrong entry. I've done my share of that! Also for anything you have posted in error yourself dMail admin and say OOPS! and they will fix it for you. If the error is one by another person sometimes they will ask you to dMail the person first, it just depends on what kind of problem it is. In an case it is all easy to do, KK.

This is nursery listing of my Lime Zinger. Many listing in Google.

Common Name: Lime Zinger
Latin Name: Xanthosoma mafaffa
Family: Araceae
Zone: 8-10







Info: For a tropical accent in your summer garden Lime Zinger's a winner! Giant chartreuse arrow-shaped leaves leaves grow to 18-24 inches long and the plants can be 6 to 7 feet high. They prefer partial shade and plenty of water. Lime green is the hot color in gardens this year and this lime green elephant ear could steal the show in your garden this summer!

I will ask the admin to delete the Alocasia PF and transfer the pics to the Xanth PF listing.

The only listing I could find is http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/53682/ which is Alocasia 'Golden Delicious' with the additional cultivar info as 'Lime Zinger'. From the error report and how you've discussed this, it is 2 seperate entries. Should this entry merely be changed from Alocasia to Xanthosoma mafaffa? Am I missed out where this other entry is? Just checking.

Both links you list above point to the same Plant Files listing (#53682 in your browser address). What I believe you are saying is change the Genus from Alocasia to Xanthosoma. Am I correct in understanding your request?

Athens, OH

You are correct.
Sorry for being so dense and not noticing they were the same link (I got to them with two different searches).
Many thanks, ROX

No problem, Rox. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything before making the change(s). All done.
