It shows several inflor`s, all shorter than the leaf, arising from spotted cataphylls, they have boat-shaped spathes that are colored light brownish pink, carried at an angle off the peduncles, the club-shaped spadices hang at an angle downwards out of the spathe, pointing at the ground, they are purplish with whitish prominent stigmas. Hope that this is of help. Sincerely, Julius Boos +More WPB, FLORIDA >>Can anyone tell me what the spathe looks like on the above re:aroid.
