Anggota genus ini cukup banyak, ada yang berumbi (tuberous) ataupun rhizomatus. Setidaknya ada 70 jenis yang tersebar di daerah tropis lembab Asia Tenggara dan Brazil . Umumnya memiliki daunnya dengan lebar 20 sampai 90 cm, namun ada pula yang berukuran raksasa seperti Alocasia robusta. Beberapa jenis dapat dimakan “batang” dan umbinya, tapi harus dimasak dulu. Kesalahan memilih jenis yang dapat dimakan dan kesalahan proses memasak dapat menyebabkan gatal-gatal di mulut ataupun tenggorokan karena kandungan asam oksalat.
