Blade rather rigid, elongate-oblong-lanceolate or lanceolate, equally narrowed from the middle at both ends, cuneate at base, 20-26 cm long, 3-5.5 cm wide, apex shortly and very acutely acuminate, primary lateral veins ca. 12-15 on each side, joined into a collective vein situated about 1/7 from the side of the margin. INFLORESCENCE: Peduncle slender, nearly twice as long as petiole, 13-15 cm long. Spathe reflexed, linear, shortly acuminate, ca. 3.5 cm long, 5-6 mm wide.
