Alocasia odora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alocasia odora (also called Night-scented Lily or giant upright elephant ear, and commonly known in Vietnamese as bạc hà) is a flowering plant native to Asia. Its stems are used as a green vegetable in the cuisines of Southeast Asia, and often used to flavor soups (such as canh chua) or stir fried dishes.

The plant is a member of the genus Alocasia, and is thus related to taro.
