Caladium bicolor Vent. - Arum bicolor Aiton; Caladium x hortulanum Birdsey - Araceae
common caladium, elephant's ear, angel wings, Elefantenohr, Engelsflügel, Caladium

„A perennial stemless herb with a crown of mottled and coloured leaves arising from a tuberous rootstock, native of the tropical S American forest and Caribbean, and dispersed as an ornamental to many tropical and subtropical countries. The plant has been subject to hybridisation over nearly two centuries and it is probable that the material which has run wild and become naturalized is of the C. × hortulanum group of which C. bicolor is the principle parent.“
