Scandent epiphyte; the stem elongate; internodes 2-6 cm long, ca. 3 mm thick; roots slender, 1-2 cm long, scattered along the internodes; cataphylls to 4 cm long. LEAVES spreading; petioles 4-11 cm long, flattened to sulcate adaxially; blade elliptic or narrowly elliptic, (10)13-26.5 cm long, (2.5)3-9(10.5) cm wide, acuminate to long-acuminate at apex, narrowly subcordate, pliveined at base, the upper surface semiglossy; midrib sunken; collective vein arising from the base or fused with the midrib for 0.2-2.5 cm from base. INFLORESCENCE usually arching-pendent; penduncle 4-23 cm long, terete; spathe green, lanceolate, 3.5-9.5 cm long, 0.7-1.8 cm wide; stipe absent or to 2 mm long; spadix violet-purple at an thesis, 4.5-13 cm long, 0.3-0.5 cm diam. at base, usually less than 1 cm diam. at apex. INFRUCTESCENCE with spadix to 2 cm diam.; berries oblong-ellipsoid to narrowly ellipsoid or narrowly ovoid (with four longitudinal ridges on drying), orange to red, 0.5-1.2 cm long, with numerous round to slightly elongated raphide cells visible on drying; mesocarp orange, pulpy; seeds (1)2(3), black, suborbicular, flattened, ca. 6-9 mm long.
