Underground parts unknown. Stem as that of D. havilandii. Bulbils none seen. Leaves alternate, decidedly coriaceous, ovate or ovate-elliptic, to 15 by 6 cm, acuminate, base rounded, nerves 5 with courses as in D. havilandii; petiole to 3 cm long. Male flowering axes in large leafless inflorescences, perhaps not quite so strongly negatively geotropic as those of D.havilandii for they curve upwards less abruptly than do those of D. havilandii. Female flowering axes 1-3 together markedly angled. Capsule unknown.
