I'm pretty sure this is a type of Allocasia (tarro is a member of this genus) that promises to grow rather large (almost 1 metre long) leaves. (Well at least that's what the photo suggested on the label when I bought it). It's doing quite well - I planted it at the entry into our place where it is shaded by some jacarandas and it's setting its roots into the water-sodden soil of this drain that runs under our entry. Just perfect for this kind of plant. I'm hoping it will become a spectacular feature plant as you enter our place. Stay tuned.
