Is there a database entry for this plant?

I photographed it at Cowell's garden centre in Newcastle Upon Tyne a while ago but can't see it listed here.

If it is it will be under Alocasia baginda. It is one of the 'Dragon Scale' types, they are all Alocasia baginda variants (Silver Dragon, Pink Dragon, Dragon Scale)

We have a species entry for Jewel Alocasia (Alocasia baginda) and a listing for the cultivar Jewel Alocasia (Alocasia baginda 'Dragon Scale') but it looks like we don't yet have entries for cultivars 'Pink Dragon' or 'Silver Dragon' so proposals need to be submitted to add those to the database.

I can't find much reliable info on the web though to add a link to the proposal.

I'm not sure but I think to add it to the database, admin. just needs links to a few places that actually sell the plant by that cultivar name. @Zuzu, I found quite a few places selling it as such, can a new entry be created?

Pink Dragon is a trade name, like Grey Dragon Silver Dragon and Dragon Scale. I am not sure that any of them have been registered as cultivars

There do not seem to be patents pending or patents granted for these names but still they do exist LOL

Actually there is already a link to pink dragon, it's under Morocco which is the trade name I believe. Also it's not alocasia baginda. It's a hybrid of Polly and something else. Here is the link in the database.
Elephant's Ear (Alocasia Safari Morocco)

Thank you, Carly. I'll merge the two entries and add Pink Dragon to the also-sold-as field so that the name will be included in search results.

I just knew because I was searching for awhile for it and then I searched Morocco and I found it. 😊 Thanks Zuzu.

It is the sister of both Ivory Coast and Ebony. I own those 2 but not Morocco. Never seen it for sale yet around here
