Leaf blade rigid, subcoriaceous, narrowly lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate at the apex, broadly obtuse at the base, 20 - 30 cm long, 5 - 7.5 cm wide, primary lateral veins numerous, arising at nearly 90 deg. From the thickish midrib later somewhat ascending, distinctly prominent on both surfaces, near the margin joined into a slender collective vein 3 - 5 mm distant from the margin. INFLORESCENCES: Peduncle terete, slender, 8 - 10 cm long, 2 mm thick. Spathe linear-lanceolate, acuminate at the apex, 3 - 4 cm long, 7 - 8 mm wide. Spadix sessile, elongate, submyosuroid, narrowly cylindroid, rounded-obtuse at the apex, 7 - 10 cm long, basally 6 - 8 mm thick, narrowing upwards.
