Alocasia reversa is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to Borneo.[1] In its native habitat it is found on limestone outcrops, so as a houseplant it does not need heavy watering.[2] It gets its specific epithet from the fact that its color pattern is reversed from the typical Alocasia, that is, its coloration is darker on and near the veins.[2]
