Slender to rather robust, (heterophyllous?), root-climbing liane to 8 m. Stem?; eocaul & seedling not observed. LEAVES mid-green adaxially, slightly paler abaxially, stiffly but thinly chartaceous, drying dull greenish; petiole 3–7 cm long, slender, sheath somewhat prominent, extending to just below geniculum, basally clasping, apically briefly auriculate to slightly ligulate; blade 10–34 × 2.5–10 cm, oblong-elliptic, often falcate, unequal, occasionally quite strongly so, base rounded, apex acute to acuminate, very briefly apiculate; intramarginal veins 2 per side, the lowermost arising from the base, the next arising from the lowest part of the midrib, outer intramarginal vein remaining very close and parallel to margin, inner vein c. 1 cm distant, both reaching the leaf tip; flowering shoot abbreviated, usually leafless but with 1–several well-developed cataphylls, very occasionally with one or more fully developed but reduced leaves, arising from below the leaf axils of fertile shoots. INFLORESCENCE solitary from tips of leafy shoots, rarely terminal on (foliage-)leafless reiterative shoots arising in leaf axils or from leafless stems and then often with inflorescences at different stages of maturity; peduncle 2.7–5 × 0.2–0.3 cm, moderately stout, erect or curving and ultimately ascending and the inflorescence held erect, dull green. Spathe 2.5–10 × 0.5–1.5 cm, lorate, spreading, base auriculate, auricle margins inrolled, barely decurrent on the peduncle, apex obtuse, acuminate, mid-green. Spadix stipitate; stipe 0.8–1.5 × c. 0.2 cm, slender, terete, lime green; fertile portion 5–6.5 × 0.3–0.4 cm, cylindrical to tapering slender–cylindrical, straight to slightly curved, base unequal, slightly cochleate, creamy-yellow. Flowers c. 1.5 mm diam.; tepals 6, free; stamens 6. INFRUCTESCENCE with numerous berries; fruit 10–15 × 5–8 mm, obclavate to ellipsoid, ripening deep scarlet. Seeds c. 4–6 × 2–4 mm, ellipsoid.
