This one has leaves that point downward the back lobes are not fused. So far it sounds like a Xanthosoma. But the leaves are extremely thick making it a alocasia nebula.

The alocasias will be the hardest to tell apart usually due to their diverse looks. But thickness to the leaves is easy to tell if you are familiar with the colocasias and xanthosomas.
