This plant forms a creeping rhizome and has cordate-ovate leaves that are medium green and glaborous. The inflorescence is typical of the Araceae family, with a white spathe and yellow spadix. The spadix is shorter than the spathe and its male and female flowers are separated shortly.[1][2] It grows at an altitude of {{convert|800|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in virgin forest in parts of eastern Africa (Kenya and Tanzania). There have been reports of the species in Cameroon, but these remain unconfirmed.[3][4] References1. ^Simon J. Mayo, Josef Bogner, Peter C. Boyce: The Genera of Araceae.
