I've had this plant for years and years. Its a variegated form of Alocasia odora and is commonly called Alocasia aurea. It differs from A. macrohizza albo-variegata in that the variegation is green and yellow, not green-white-silver, and in the leaf form, which is rounder and more pleated than macrorhizza. The plant is also initially much smaller in stature, and eventually develops a trunk. Its hardy to at least zone 8, possibly warmer zone 7 with protection.
