Stingray is the English name for the ray and that explains the nickname of this unique Alocasia, because its leaves have the exact shape of this cartilaginous fish, which makes the plant unique among the Alocasia species. It thrives particularly well in partially shaded locations and is a real must-have for collectors of unusual plants.
