I heard a while back that they were going to move it. I have a small plant and if you just look at it, it looks more like a Caladium than an Alocasia.
Such is the field of botany- always changing, always moving plants around, always renaming.

I remember at the 98 Convention Dr. M. Buzgo came from Switzerland to give a talk on Acorus, but it had recently been kicked out of Araceae somewhere else. Oops!
