Alocasia Sanderiana

 

Kris Plant

Endemic to the Philippines, the Alocasia sanderiana is critically endangered in the wild but cultivated specimens are popular for its dramatic foliage. Its deeply loved V-shaped leaves are dark green with white veins and can grow up to 40cm long and 20cm wide. It has cream coloured inflorescences and inedible orange-red berries.
