Pothos curtisii Hook.f.

Slender, heterophyllous, root-climbing liane to 3 m. Shoot system architecture unclear; eocaul not observed; seedling shingle-leaved; flowering shoot much abbreviated to rarely rather elongated through reiteration, (foliage) leafless or, occasionally, bearing undersize foliage leaves. LEAVES mid-green, paler abaxially, drying mid-green to brown, stiffly coriaceous; petiole 2–10.5 × 0.1–0.6 cm, slender, canaliculate, rounded abaxially, base decurrent, apex prominently geniculate, sheath distinct, prominent, erect, apically ligulate in young growth, ligule later disintegrating; blade 8–26 × 1.6–9.5 cm, broadly to narrowly oblong elliptic, apex acuminate to long-acuminate, apiculate, apicule later deciduous, base obtuse; primary lateral veins arising at 45–70°, 2 intramarginal veins per side, 2–13 mm from blade margin, arising from just above base of the midrib, remaining ± parallel to margin, terminating at the tip of the blade. INFLORESCENCE solitary to several at different stages on a reiterating flowering shoot; peduncle 2.5–6.5 × 0.1–0.4 cm, somewhat robust, strongly curving or straight, the inflorescence held erect, mid-green. Spathe 3.4–6.7 × c. 1 cm, linear-triangular to narrowly oblong, base rounded, annularly inserted on to peduncle, apex acuminate, slightly rough, pale brown tinged reddish pink. Spadix stipitate; stipe 3–19 × 1–2 mm, terete; fertile portion 3.5–13.5 × 0.5–0.3 cm, very slender-cylindric, occasionally sterile at the tip, pale greyish pink, older inflorescences blackish red. Flowers c. 1.6 mm diam., widely scattered, arranged in a lax spiral along the spadix with 6 free tepals and 6 stamens. INFRUCTESCENCE with few to many berries; fruit 6–11 × 5–7 mm, ellipsoid to oblong-ellipsoid; seeds not observed.
