Scandent epiphyte; stems elongate with 1 or more short internodes alternating with a long internode, 8-33 cm long, appearing to have several leaves at each node, often with a short, leafy, branch with several short internodes at these nodes; rooting profusely at each node; cataphylls 3-4.5 cm long, drying brown, dilacerating and ultimately deciduous. LEAVES spreading; petioles ± terete, 1.8-13 cm long; blades lanceolate to elliptic, oblong-elliptic or oblanceolate, subcoriaceous, 5-21 cm long, 2.2-9.5 cm wide, acuminate at apex, acute to rounded at base, 5-21 cm long; the midrib raised above, flat to prominulous below; primary lateral veins 9-12 per side, departing midrib at 45°-55° angle, ± obscure above, usually obscure below; collective vein arising from the base, prominulous above, flat below, 4-6 mm from the margin. INFLORESCENCE erect-spreading; peduncle 4.5-14 cm long, longer than petioles; spathe green, oblong-lanceolate, 3.7-5 cm long, 1-1.5 cm wide, acuminate at apex, acute at base; spadix green, becoming brownish-purple, 2.5-4 cm long; flowers 4-lobed, ca. 3 mm in both directions, the sides sigmoid; ca. 3 flowers visible in either spiral; pistils emergent, green, mammilliform; stamens held above tepals; anthers about as long as broad, less than 1 mm long; pollen pale yellow.
