Alocasia tandurusa Morphology
About Alocasia tandurusa
Alocasia Jacklyn (botanically Alocasia tandurusa) is a species endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia. Its deeply lobed, arrow-shaped leaves have an architectural silhouette, with a neon-green blade surface contrasted against stark dark green or brown veins. A distinct fuzzy, hair-like texture (trichomes) covers the leaf surface, setting it apart from almost all other Alocasia species. Its petioles carry brown and cream zebra-like mottling.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Confirm the fuzzy, hairy (pubescent) leaf texture is present in listing photos. Trichomes are unusual for the genus, and a smooth-leaved plant sold under this name is likely mislabelled
- Check the petiole for the zebra-like brown-and-cream mottling described for this species; a plain green petiole suggests a different plant
- Base-species listings should be priced well under Variegated or Aurea forms, which have sold for £60-£70+ on eBay; treat a high asking price for the plain green form with caution
- Ask about corm and growth-point condition, since this is a tuberous grower rather than a stem-rooted one
- 'Alocasia Jacklyn' and 'Alocasia tandurusa' are the same plant; confirm a listing's photos match one specimen, not a mixed batch sold under both names
A Trichome Rarity
Tandurusa is one of the few Alocasia species with a genuinely fuzzy, pubescent leaf surface. Most of the genus runs from glossy to matte, not hairy, so the trichomes on this one are a real identification marker rather than a subjective texture note. The trade name 'Jacklyn' and the botanical name 'tandurusa' refer to the same plant, which causes some confusion when the two circulate as if they were different species. Variegated and Aurea forms have traded at several times the base plant's price on recent sold listings, worth knowing before assuming a high price reflects the plain species.
