Terrestrial herb or hemiepiphyte, growing to 2 or 3 m; internodes 3-7.4 cm, 5-10 mm diam., drying dark olive-brown, soon light brown and closely blackish transverse-fissured; cataphylls (2-)4.5-9.5 cm, the uppermost intact, promptly weathering to a pale reticulum of fibers with some loose fibers persisting even at lower nodes; petioles (13.4-)18-29 cm, sub terete, obtusely sulcate, drying deeply sulcate and pale yellow-brown; geniculum 10-15 mm, scarcely thicker than the petiole; blades narrowly ovate-sagittate, (11-)16-28.5 x (8-)10.6-18 cm, rugose, dark green and matte adaxially, paler and matte abaxially, drying greenish brown to yellow-brown adaxially, yellow brown abaxially, narrowly acuminate at apex, sagittate at base; anterior lobe 8-21.5 cm; posterior lobes 3.2-7.5 cm, 3.4-7.5 cm wide midway, directed toward the base; sinus 2.5-7 cm deep, (0.5-)1-2.5 cm diam. midway, oblong or sometimes spatulate to V-shaped; basal veins usually 4 pairs, sometimes 5 or 6 pairs, 1st and often 2nd free to base, 3rd and higher coalesced 1.5-2 cm; posterior rib ± straight, barely or not at all naked along sinus; midrib drying narrowly triangular and paler adaxially, convex and paler abaxially; primary lateral veins 3 to 5 pairs, weakly raised in narrow valleys adaxially, convex abaxially, departing midrib at 35?-60?, straight to gradually curved to the collective veins; collective veins usually arising from the 1st basal vein, sometimes from the 2nd or rarely the 3rd pairs of basal veins, 2-8 mm from margin, equally as prominent as the primary lateral veins; all the veins on the abaxial surface but especially primary lateral veins and tertiary veins pustular-hispidulous on drying. INFLORESCENCE erect; peduncle 6.7-12.2 cm; spathe pinkish yellow to pinkish green, lanceolate, reflexed, (3.2-)47 x 6-12 mm; stipe (0.8-)2.5 3.7 cm, drying 1-2 mm diam.; spadix red, (1-)2 4.8 cm, (3-)5-7 mm diam., nearly cylindric, scarcely tapered toward apex, bluntly rounded at apex. Flowers 5 to 8 visible per spiral, 4-lobed, ca. 2.6 X 2.2 mm; lateral tepals ± shield-shaped, the outer margin narrowly rounded, inner margin broadly rounded; stamens held at surface of tepals in a close, usually contiguous circle around the style; anthers yellow; stigma elliptic, ca. 0.2 mm.
