Safe for Manouria Emys?

[mikeh]

This plant grows in moist areas/standing water proximity with shade. Can anyone id? Would it be safe for manouria? Its as large as elephant ears but clearly not one.

I can't think of the name. But I believe it's a bog plant. I had some a while back. I do not know if it's safe though. I'll try and remember the name. If it were any other species if say try it. But I know Manouria will eat it anyways. Lol

Arrow Arum is the common name
Peltandra virginica

Thanks for the help. I looked it up. Its a totally different plant, but both have same shape leaf. Arrow Arum is poisonous (at least to humans) while Broadleaf Arrowhead (duck potato) is safe, supposedly very tasteful.

Here is a great link comparing the two.

Well crap. It looks a lot like it(leaf wise)

I think its called arrowhead (Syngonium podophyllum) and all parts are toxic.

But Manouria seem to be able to eat toxic plants with no problems.

Don't eat it then

I have a very similar plant, not sure what two of those it is.

I agree with MikeH - Sagittaria latifolia - so, safe.
It is not an Aroid (neither Peltandra nor Syngonium).
