Alocasia wentii, also known as the New Guinea Shield or Hardy Elephant Ear?

#### MTA324 antwoordde op 2025-11-08

I’m unsure. The stems are almost black.

#### Lex antwoordde op 2025-11-08

Their stems can be darkly colored like that!

### Sunny reageerde op 2025-11-08

It could be Alocasia Macrorrhizos (Black stem). They get very large with dark leaf stems. 🪴🍀

### Tom reageerde op 2025-11-08

Got any other pics, looks like Alocasia dark star to me

#### Tom antwoordde op 2025-11-08

Are the veins under the leaf dark purple’ish

#### MTA324 antwoordde op 2025-11-08

Yeah they are. I’ll send some photos

#### MTA324 antwoordde op 2025-11-10

Purplish vines and stems

So the veins are same color as dark star, but there are more of them and branch opposite each other, yours has less and spread out more so most likely Macrorrhiza 'Black Stem'. Picture of mine is the dark star with more veins and opposite each other
