Sprawling small herb to c. 20 cm tall. Stem very slender and elongate, c. 30 cm long, c. 1 mm diam. (dry), with internodes to 4 cm long, decumbent and rooting sparsely along much of its length, apparently hapaxanthic and regenerating from the base. Leaves distant, c. 9 together; petiole c. 4 cm long, minutely scabrid with dense epidermal papillae (strong lens required), sheathing in the lower ½–3⁄5; wings of sheath fully attached but then torn by elongation of subsequent internode, tapering; blade narrowly ovato-sagittate, c. 6.5 cm long × 3 cm wide, the base cordate with rounded posterior lobes c. 8 mm long, the apex acute; midrib slightly abaxially prominent, minutely scabrid like the petiole, with 5 primary lateral veins on each side diverging at c. 60°; interprimary veins hardly differentiated; secondary veins almost all arising from the midrib; tertiary venation forming a faint tessellate reticulum abaxially. Inflorescence solitary; peduncle hidden within sheath of last leaf on the stem. Spathe c. 3.5 cm long; lower spathe narrowly obovoid, 1 cm long, differentiated from the limb by a distinct constriction; limb more or less ovate, white, c. 2.5 cm long, ?deciduous.
