I found it growing wild in a ditch at Panama City Beach.
It has darker leaves than the pure species
and maroon edges to the leaves and the upper part of the petioles are maroon.

I have one similar and it is usually identified by the dark spot in the center of each leaf. Other species have this but it seems to be seen a lot in the Hawaiian hybrids. I will try to find a name for it but their are a few and it can be very hard to tell them apart. The color of the tuber and the inside of the tuber could help put the Hawaiian name to it. |
