(L.) Schott  

Colocasia esculenta (binomen ab Henrico Gulielmo Schott anno 1832 statutum) est planta florens familiae Aracearum, quam homines in zonis tropicis excolunt praecipue holus radicale propter cormos esculentos, et secundarie holus frondosum. Habetur una ex primis mundi plantis cultis.[1] Ea ad Alocasiam, Caladium, et Xanthosomam arte conectitur, plantas saepissime pro ornamento excultas, et sicut plantae illorum generum in variis linguis appellatur auris elephantis.

Planta incocta est toxicarius propter calcii oxalatum,[2][3] sed partes plantae coctae venenum exstinguunt.[4]
