SilkKnoll said:This is incorrect. The Kew-MoBot collaboration, Plants of the World Online, lists this plant as an artificial hybrid. It does not clarify that this hybrid is extinct.
The cross (or a similar one, since it is not possible to tell which form of longiloba was used in the original cross) was repeated by Salvatore Mauro at his Amazon Nursery in or shortly prior to 1953 and yielded the hybrid we now know as Alocasia 'Amazonica.'
