Alocasia is a genus of tuberous, broad-leaved, perennial, flowering plants from the family Araceae. The large, cordate or sagittate leaves grow to a length of 20 to 90 cm (8 to 35 in) on long petioles. Their araceous flowers grow at the end of a short stalk, but are not conspicuous; often hidden behind the leaf petioles. ~{Wikipedia}
