Alocasia brisbanensis, also known as Cunjevoi or Native Giant Elephant Ear, is a striking evergreen native to the rainforests of eastern Australia. Growing 1.5-2 meters tall and wide, it features large, upright green leaves and produces green-cream flowers that give way to vibrant red berries. Ideal for part shade, this moderate-growing plant is perfect for tropical gardens, shaded courtyards, or as a dramatic feature in mass plantings. Very similar to the Alocasia macrorrhiza/macrorrhizos 'Giant Taro'.
