Stem short, erect, freely rooting, the whole of the plant seen, ex- 
cluding the peduncle and spadix, being about 15 inches high. Leaves 
closely placed, glabrous; petiole erect, 6—10 inches long, including the 
geniculus, which is 5— 6 lines long, quite terete, without a groove down 
the face, sheathing at the base, green; - blade drooping, 10--14 inches 
long. 6-9 inches broad; peltate, elliptic-ovate, shortly acuminate, quite 
entire and broadly rounded at the base, or but faintly emarginate, not in 
the least cordate or notched, of a rich and pleasing deep green, over- 
spread with a velvety sheen, with very pale green nerves and primary 
veins, which often have a frosted-white border; underside pale green, 
sometimes with a faint purplish hue; primary nerves (including the mid- 
rib) 6—7, all radiating from the insertion of the petiole, prominent on 
the upper side, very slightly so beneath; when there are 6, one is 
directed straight back in a line with the midrib, forking about an inch 
from the margin of the leaf into two branches (when there are 7, this 
badwardly directed nerve is divided to the base into two) which sweep 
in bold curves out to the margins below the middle of the leaf; the 
lowest pair are first directed backwards in a widely-spreading manner, 
then curve forward out to the margin, and become excurrent near the 
apex of the leaf; the inner pair are widely ascending, spreading at the 
base, then curve, and form a slightly looped nerve about ?/,—1 distant 
from the margin at the lower half, and becoming excurrent at the apex; 
the midrib gives out three or four primary veins on each side, which 
unite and form loops with the inner pair of nerves. Peduncle rising to 
about twice the height of the leaves, 1!/,—2 feet long, terete glabrous, 
green. Spathe 4—6 inches long, '/,—?/, inch broad, broadly linear or 
strap-shaped, acuminate, amplexicaul or shortly decurrent at the base, 
spreading, glabrous, green. Spadix about 6 inches long, */, inch thick 
at the base, terete, gradually tapering to the obtuse apex, ochreous 
vellow, with a wax-like shining surface. Flowers 4-angled, about 1 line 
in diameter. Ovary green at the top, two-colled: stigma sessile very 
small.
