Pothos motleyanus (Araceae)
Rather robust, heterophyllous, root-climbing liane. Shoot system architecture unclear; eocaul not observed; seedling shingle-leaved; flowering shoot much abbreviated, (foliage) leafless, reiterating. LEAVES stiffly coriaceous, very shortly ginger-tomentose abaxially, drying mid-brown with orange-brown abaxial surface; petiole 1.5–5 × 0.1–0.2 cm, stout, weakly canaliculate, rounded abaxially, apex prominently geniculate, sheath wide with two short, triangular ligules at tip, but soon degrading and not conspicuous in older portions of plant; blade 7–25 × 2–13 cm, narrowly to very broadly oblong-elliptic, oblique, falcate or not, apex acuminate, apiculate, base obtuse to slightly cordate; primary lateral veins arising at 70–85°, 2 intramarginal veins per side, 2–20 mm from blade margin, arising from just above base of the midrib, remaining ± parallel to margin, terminating at the tip of the blade. INFLORESCENCES several together at different stages; peduncle 2–4 × 0.1–0.4 cm, slender, curving or straight, the inflorescence held erect to spreading, tending to become pendent into fruiting. Spathe 2.2–2.5 × 0.2–0.25 cm, linear, base rounded, annularly inserted on to peduncle, apex acuminate. Spadix stipitate; stipe 7–10 mm long, terete; fertile portion 6–9 × 0.1–0.2 cm, slender-cylindric, tomentose. Flowers c. 1.6 mm diam., widely scattered, arranged in a lax spiral each on a an expanded ‘receptacle’, with 6 free tepals and 6 stamens. INFRUCTESCENCE with few berries; fruit 8–11 × 5–6 mm, ellipsoid to oblong-ellipsoid; seeds not observed.
