湿生草本。块茎球形，有多数须根；匍匐茎常从块茎基部外伸，长或短，具小球茎。叶柄肥厚，直立，长可达1.2米；叶片薄革质，表面略发亮，盾状卵形，基部心形，长达50厘米以上；前裂片宽卵形，锐尖，长稍胜于宽，I级侧脉4-8对；后裂片卵形，钝，长约为前裂片的1/2，2/3-3/4甚至完全联合，基部弯缺为宽钝的三角形或圆形，基脉相交成30-40度的锐角。花序柄比叶柄短许多。佛焰苞苍黄色，长15-25厘米：管部淡绿色，长圆形，为檐部长的1/2-1/5；檐部狭长的线状披针形，先端渐尖。肉穗花序短于佛焰苞：雌花序与不育雄花序等长，各长2-4厘米；能育雄花序和附属器各长4-8厘米。子房具极短的花柱。
产江南各省，常生长于林下阴湿处，也有栽培的。
块茎（有毒）供药用，外用治无名肿毒、疥疮、吊脚癀（大腿深部脓肿）、痈肿疮毒、虫蛇咬伤、急性颈淋巴腺炎（贵州、江西）。
本种也很少开花，营养体的特点是叶片卵形，基部裂片几全长合生；块茎圆形，有许多发亮的芽眼。
