Description

The plant produces depressed sub-globose tubers with pale brown skin and slender offsets. The petiole is long, smooth, and pale yellowish-green with dark green mottling and cream speckles, subtended by a few pinkish cataphylls. The lamina is 30–45 cm across, with sessile elliptic leaflets that are dark green above, paler beneath, and slightly undulate along the margin. The inflorescence consists of a peduncle resembling the petiole in colour and pattern, a spathe that is light pinkish-yellow with purplish mottling outside and yellowish-green within, and a spadix nearly equal in length to the spathe. Female flowers have small green ovaries with 2–3 locules, while male flowers are yellow. The spadix appendix is cream-coloured, tapering towards the apex, and smooth above. The fruits are oblong, scarlet-red when ripe, and contain 2–3 ovoid seeds. Flowering occurs from March to May, with fruiting from May to August.
