The genus Alocasia builds huge leaves, often called elephant-ears and make bold garden centerpieces. Colocasia esculenta is an important food crop, known as taro. It was domesticated in Asia and the Pacific and comes in many cultivars.
Some genera are not evergreen and rest for months (mostly in winter) as underground corms. This is the case of Amorphophallus, a genus also known for its large, unusual and often stinky flowers.
