Yes, as I understand, any secie of Colocasia or Alocasia could be under the alternative name "Elephant ears", but, probably, in the first place, edible (as Alocasia macrohrizzos) and curative species must be considered.
Unfortunately, I don't know, who firstly suggested this interpretation, but I like it. I hope to be openminded and belive that Persian name "Gush-e fil" (Elephant's ear) existed for a long time. It would be great, if someone could find more detailed information about this in Arabic or another sources.
