Post #5476319

I found this on sale today at H.D. The tag said "Colocasia, Black Magic". Now, I know "that ain't it"!
Whatever it is, I figured it was worth $4.96. :)

But what is it? Looks more like an alocasia to me, or possibly a xanthosoma?
I have a photos showing the shape of the leaf, top, bottom, and general form.

If you recognize it, please do help me out?
Many thanks,
Deb
Here the shape of the leaves. They're fairly thick.
