Can some one tell me which Alocasia this is ? I know there are several with similar patterns \& shapes \& I’m having a hard time figuring it out . It wasn’t marked when I got it . BTW my first new leaf this spring it’s been a while since it’s given me one . So shiny 😀

Looks like a Polly

Ok cool the prob Ive been having is anytime I look up an Alocasia that looks even remotely like this it says Polly or African mask I looked up my bambino \& it said Polly so I never know if that’s actually what it is . Kinda like anytime I look up a vine type plant it comes up pothos no matter what . Ty for the response .

Polly and African mask is same thing. African mask is another name for it because of it’s leaf shape.

It an amazonica, a Polly is a mini version of the amazonica and its leaves are a slightly different shape

It’s an amazonica/polly. A Polly is a smaller version.
