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]
