Alocasia sanderiana
The story
Hailing from the tropical forests of Northern Mindanao in the Philippines, the kris plant carries a name that evokes the traditional, wavy-bladed kris daggers of its homeland. Though it has traveled far from its native island to become a prized ornamental treasure in homes across the globe, its wild origins remain precarious, as it clings to survival as a critically endangered species in the Philippine wilderness.
