362. ALOCASIA ‘OKINAWA.’ We 
added this unidentified species to our 
collection on the theory that it would 
withstand below 32° F. because the 
winters are cold in its country of or- 
igin. This is a very promising plant 
for the semi-tropics. The leaves are 
much more rounded than those of 
A. MACRORRHIZA; the margins are 
finely and pleasingly undulated and 
the leaf texture is heavy. 
366. ALOCASIA SPP. Much like mul- 
tiflora, execpt that the leaves are 
glossy. 
368. ALOCASIA SPP. We used to 
consider this to be A. odorata. The 
inflorescence is heavily yet pleasantly 
fragrant. The arrow-shaped green 
leaves are lettucy; the long petioles 
are marked faintly in the manner of 
Alocasis “Okinawa” 
A. zebrina. This plant appears to be 
one of the parents that a Hawaiian 
friend of ours succeeded in crossing 
with A. sanderiana. This splendid hy- 
brid combines the pleasing character- 
istics of the respective parents. 
364. ALOCASIA PICTA. Probably an 
invalid name. As shown by the illus- 
tration, the leaves are prettily marked. 
The irregular splotches are a_ light 
arayed yellow, making a sharp con- 
trast with the green. Freely suckering. 
Alocasia picta 
370. ALOCASIA WAVRINIANA, Mast. Leaves erect, toothed, lanceolate and long- 
pointed, dark green; petioles purple spotted. This plant should be used as a hybridizer to 
produce a new race of ornamentals because it is distinctly different from most members 
of the genus. 
372. ALOCASIA WHINKII. This plant looks like it might withstand some frost. The 
leaves are of a heavy texture—the underside purplish, the upper green. The stems 
are light green. 
374. ALOCASIA ZEBRINA. A Philippine plant. The arrow-shaped leaves are areen; the 
stems are mottled in a zebra fashion with dark green. We should like to see this plant 
used by a hybridizer.
