Stem spineless, slender and tall, crowned by a graceful cluster of pinnately divided Lvs.: Ifts. narrowly lanceolate, a little oblique, at the apex somewhat bifid: spadix short-peduncled, the branches more or less compressed, alternate, sometimes pendulous; fls. monoecious, the two kinds in 1 spadix; stamens 6. rarely 12 or 15: fr. small, elongate-ovoid, tipped by the persistent stigma.
