This plant forms a creeping rhizome and has cordate-ovate leaves that are medium green and glabrous.

The inflorescence is typical of the family Araceae, with a white spathe and yellow spadix.

The spadix is shorter than the spathe and its male and female flowers are separated shortly.

[2][3] It grows at an altitude of 800 m (2,625 ft) in virgin forest in parts of eastern Africa (Kenya and Tanzania).

There have been reports of the species in Cameroon, but these remain unconfirmed.
