It is inaccurate, but that is not uncommon on eBay.

C. esculenta has matte leaves which point downwards not upwards. The plant for sale looks like Alocasia macrorrhizos or similar.

Best to buy only from reputed growers.

This is certainly Alocasia odora or possibly A. x calidora, although from the looks of the leaves and inflorescence, I'd put my money on A. odora.

Definitely not Colocasia!
