Alocasia tandurusa ‘Jacklyn’
Alocasia tandurusa is a new species from Sulawesi, Indonesia. Deeply lobed, textured foliage is vibrant green with intricate dark green veins, and resembles the shape of deer antlers! The species epithet is a latinisation of the Indonesian tanduk rusa, meaning “antlers” in English and alludes to the deeply lobed and fuzzy leaf blades. Tandurusa is also a place name in Bitung District, Sulawesi Utara, but it is not clear that the plant is known from there. Under ideal conditions, will reach an average of 4′ tall and wide when grown in containers.
