Alocasia zebrina 'Reticulata' is a cultivar of Alocasia zebrina Schott ex Van Houtte. This cultivar differs from the 'original' with its very unusual leaf blade colouration, which displays dark green stripe- patterns on the lime green blades. (A reticle, or reticule, where this cultivar sources its name, also known as a graticule, is a pattern of fine lines or markings). Zebrina is named after its characteristic petiole: long (up to 1,2m), pale green in colour, streaked with darker green to brown stripes. The leaf blade is arrow-shaped (sagittate), and around 45 to 100 cm long. It is bisected at the base into two triangular to ovate lobes. It is a rich glossy green with a leathery texture.
Genus name comes form the Greek words a meaning without and Colocasia the name of a closely allied genus, form which it was separated.
