Alocasia, Neck. a genus of the family Araceae, contains about 60 species of tropical Asia and the islands. They are mostly of India-Malayean origin. Among them only two species are found in Taiwan, namely A. macrorrhiza (L.) Schott, and A. cucullata, Schott. The former is distributing throughout the entire island of Formosa and growing into huge sized rootstocks with more or less fleshy and juicy, semi-woody, ascending, cylindrical stems and the latter is of the same nature but much smaller in size and distributing only in northern part of Taiwan and sometimes is cultivated by the city people for ornamental purpose. The large sized rootstock species, whose species name ''macrorrhiza'' designated, possesses an enormous economic potential value in Taiwan, being not paid any attention to and neglected entirely by the people, contrarilly it is regarded as a ''devil weed'' of the forest, so instead of protect and cultivate it people usually try to get rid of it from the forest lands. |
