Can anyone ID this for me?

Can anyone ID this for me? I found it in a dumpster at the beginning of last december with only one leaf which was half as big as it is now. I didn't repot it only added some organic potting mix to the top to replace what fell out and I water about a pint and a half (750ml) every four or five days.

The base/stem

    Elephant Ear or Taro?

    I would definitely place it as an Alocasia -- my guess would be A. gigantea, but I am certainly not a collector of this genus.

    Thanks for the replies. I can only guess that is was too cold where-ever it was before it's dumpster trip and went dormant for the winter. Sitting next to the radiator woke it up and now it's almost to big for my studio.

    Thanks again

    This looks to me like A. odora, or possibly the hybrid, A. 'Calidora'.
