Alocasia fornicata is a plant species of many-nerved, broad-leaved, rhizomatous or tuberous perennials from the family Araceae, native to Indochina and to the Indian Subcontinent. It characteristically grows 2' - 3 ' in height with slightly pink petiole, triangular wide shaped leaves and a horizontally growing stolon. The plant's spadix is collected and cooked in North East Indian states of Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura where the plant is known locally as Baibing in Mizo. Alocasia affinis is also consumed. Both are a much favored seasonal vegetable.

dbo:abstract
  • Alocasia fornicata is a plant species of many-nerved, broad-leaved, rhizomatous or tuberous perennials from the family Araceae, native to Indochina and to the Indian Subcontinent. It characteristically grows 2' - 3 ' in height with slightly pink petiole, triangular wide shaped leaves and a horizontally growing stolon. The plant's spadix is collected and cooked in North East Indian states of Mizoram, Manipur and Tripura where the plant is known locally as Baibing in Mizo. Alocasia affinis is also consumed. Both are a much favored seasonal vegetable. The plant, including the spadix, contains needle-shaped crystals of calcium oxalate known as raphides that are believed to be a defense mechanism against plant predators that can tear and damage the mucus membranes of the throat or esophagus.

  • Alocasia fornicata es una especie de planta perenne rizomatosa o tuberosa de hojas anchas de muchos nervios, de la familia Araceae, nativa de Indochina y del subcontinente indio.​ Pecíolo ligeramente rosado, hojas triangulares anchas y un estolón que crece horizontalmente.​​​​ El espádice de la planta se recolecta y se cocina en los estados de Mizoram, Manipur y Tripura, en el noreste de India, donde la planta se conoce localmente como Baibing en . Alocasia affinis también se consume. Ambos son vegetales de estación muy consumidos. La planta, incluido el espádice, contiene cristales de oxalato de calcio en forma de aguja conocidos como rafidios que se cree que son un mecanismo de defensa contra los depredadores de plantas​ que pueden desgarrar y dañar las membranas mucosas de la garganta o el esófago.​ (es)
