The ascending leaves are hastate to sagittate with pointed basal lobes and entire margins. The tiny white, cream, or pale yellow flowers are arranged along a cylindrical spadix that is surrounded by a narrow light green spathe opening partway in the middle. This plant will be found blooming in late spring to early summer in swamps, ditches and the margins of ponds, slow-moving shallow rivers.
