Caladium praetermissum, the Hilo beauty elephant ear, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae.[1] Known only from cultivation, it is thought to be native to the New World Tropics.[2] It is a tuberous geophyte reaching 1 m (3 ft), valued for its patterned leaves.[1] Prior to its scientific description in 2009, it was sold as Alocasia 'Hilo Beauty'.[3] Collected in 1981 at the Botanical Garden Munich-Nymphenburg, its specific epithet praetermissum means "overlooked" or "forgotten".[3] It is available from commercial suppliers.[4]
