	About elephant Ears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		According to the recent Kew publication "The Genera of Aracea", Colocasia and Alocasia are genera in the Tribe Colocasieae of the Family Araceae with no particular botanical Alliance within the family.
		For Colocasia and Alocasia -- the botanical difference is based on the number and placement of ovules (female goodies) on the inflorescence (bloom thingie) and the only foliar distinction is that sometimes Alocasia leaves are sometimes pinnatifid (sort of fernlike, or like Stangeria in Cycadacea, or arrow shaped)
		Xanthosoma blooms are quite different from Colocasia or Alocasia especially with respect to the female parts and Xanthosoma also produces sterile flowers between the male and female ones.
