Just bought this one the other day, never seen it before. Its leaves are not flat but have depth. They called it Alocasia 'veitchii' or 'veitchia', but I am getting a proper id on this one. The other bonus was that I told him I had some Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Alba Variegata' for sale. He said he would take the lot or swap There is a thread hear on them, so if anyone wants any let me know and I will put them aside for you. Anyway enjoy this beauty...
And the new leaves or young leaves

I'll put my hand up for a piece of Alocasia macrorrhiza 'Alba Variegata' 
I like your new one, those wavy? leaves look good.
I'll have to put some pics on of those new ones that I bought a couple of months ago now that they are starting to grow.

Sounds like you are in for a busy time. I'm looking forward to the end of school this week... no more end-of-year school events to go to

That is what makes these plants so confusing... so many different forms of the one type... still nice plants though.
