Small to medium, seasonally dormant perennial herbs; tuber subglobose, producing erect to spreading unbranched or branched stem branches from axils of small deciduous scale leaves; stem branches producing small, scaly, ovoid tubercles at nodes. Leaves 1 or 2, basal; petiole sometimes slender with relatively short sheath; blade peltate, cordate-lanceolate to cordate-ovate, basal ribs well-developed, primary lateral veins pinnate, forming submarginal collective vein very close to margin. Inflorescence solitary, appearing with or without leaf; peduncle shorter than petiole. Spathe strongly constricted between tube and fully expanded or convolute blade; tube with convolute margins, persistent, enclosing female and sterile zone of spadix; blade yellow or red, longer than tube, later deciduous. Spadix much shorter than spathe, sessile or subsessile; female zone subcylindric,
