I've bought a rhizome on E-Bay one month a go from a French man who
said it belongs to a Colocasia gigantea he personally collected in Asia.
Now I have a very small plant, but can you identify it?
Here are the pictures:

Is it really a Colocasia gigantea or it could be a more common
Colocasia esculenta? What are the scientific characteristic
of a Colocaosia gigantea? Can you help me please?

Best regards
Stefano

Looks similar to my Jacks Giant, but honestly, at that size, it'd be hard to say exactly what it is.

I was going to say the same thing! But it is too small for a definitive ID.
