The difference between taro and dripping guanyin

1. Difference of blades

The leaves of the pointed-tail taro are membranous to sub-leathery, dark green in color, slightly lighter on the back, broadly ovate-cordate, abruptly narrowed with a convex tip, and rounded at the base.

The leaves of the weeping angel are sub-leathery, grass green in color, arrow-shaped and oval. Compared with the former, the leaves are wider, some are more than one meter long and wide, and have a blunt tip.

2. The difference between flowers

The inflorescence stalk of the pointed-tail taro is cylindrical, usually solitary, about 20-30 cm long, and the spathe tube is light green to dark green, about 4-8 cm long, about 2.5-5 cm thick, and oblong-ovate. The flowers are pale yellow or yellow in color.

The inflorescence stalk of the weeping angel is cylindrical, with 2-3 flowers growing in clusters, about 12-60 cm long, and the spathe tube is green, relatively shorter than the former, about 3-5 cm long, 3-4 cm thick, oval or short elliptical, and yellow-green or green-white when blooming.
