Mike I am pretty sure this is a new plant on the market they are calling ALocasia Jacklyn. It is endemic apparently to Sulawesi. I have seen some chatter about it on Facebook, questions about the possibility that it is being sold by poachers to all these people who have become overnight international plant importers/sellers. If there is any truth to that I don;t know. I have largely back off of being on Facebook. There are too many people there who are just kind of a waste of time. When I have something to sell, like fresh Anthurium berries, I list and sell them though a page I belong to there. But that's about it. We also started a local Gainesville area BST (Buy-Sell-Trade) for rare plants so that has been fun.
