Stems small ('caudilculi') slender, erect, internodes 4.5 cm long. Cataphylls linear-lanceolate, 5 - 7 cm long, membranaceous, livid-punctulate [punctuate with liver-coloured dots], caducous. LEAVES: Petiole slender 15 - 20 cm long, canaliculate above, with fairly long geniculum. Leaf blade rigid, thinly parchment-like, oblong-elliptic, obtuse at the base, shortly acuminate at the apex, acute, subequal to petiole, twice as long as wide, primary lateral aveins numerous and close together, erect-patent, all except the lowermost 1 - 2 joined into a collective vein 3 - 4 mm distant from the margin. INFLORESCENCE: Peduncle slender, shorter than petiole. Spathe linear-lanceolate, acute, livid-punctate adaxially, a little shorter than the spadix. Spadix subsessile, cylindric, obtuse, yellowish. Tepals nearly equally as wide as long.
