ALOCASIA ‘BOGANI’*

Species

ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

Undescribed species originating from North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The plant was discovered by botanists trying to find wild Alocasia tandurusa specimens in the Bogani Nani Wartabone National Park.

While Alocasia ‘Bogani’ could also be a natural hybrid of Alocasia tandurusa and Alocasia ‘Sabrina’, which are both found in the park, further molecular testing would be needed to confirm
