Quilted Dream Elephant Ear – Mirror Face – Alocasia Sinuata – 4″ Pot

Alocasia sinuata is a small-growing Philippine endemic with bullate, thickly coriaceous, shiny leaves. The plants start out green then mature into a deeper green with almost metallic gray patina and with dark green sunken veins, resulting in a memorable foliage display of pure bliss. The species was described by Nicholas Edward Brown in 1885 from a cultivated specimen from Kew which was given by William Bull. The original collector of this plant is unknown. Alocasia sinuata was so-named for the sinuate (wavy) margins, but as the holotype and many cultivated plants show, the waviness of the blade margins are poorly expressed.
