The shoots are greyish-brown, stout, with a thick [[pith]] core. The [[leaf|leaves]] are large, heart-shaped, 8–20 cm long and 7–20 cm broad, with a red 4–30 cm [[petiole (botany)|petiole]] bearing two or more glands; the leaves are dark green above, glaucous below, and have a coarsely serrated margin.
