Description

  Roots:  dark with many spindle-like tubers, resembling yam or manioc.
  Stem: single, upright with round swelling just above ground.
  Leaves: stellated, with 10-13 fingers, distal ones somewhat longer.
  Petiol: attached to leaf palm between two shortest fingers.
  Leaf arrangement: basically paired.
  Flowers: one big flower or inflorescence at the top, shaped like an
    oversize cashew nut. The narrower end is lighter and attached to
    the plant, and covered by tight bracts resembling those of an
    eggplant.  The wider end is crowned by a light patch surrounded by
    short, narrow, curved petals, and filled with concentric dotted
    circles---possibly a cluster of small mature flowers.

  Rene [07 Apr 1999] reports that the vellum of this folio is thinner than
  average.
