I don't have a picture handy but the upper part of the spathe is very narrow, relatively long, with a very thin spadix within, while the bottom part is somewhat bulged out and seems ribbed. When the bloom opens, it opens only a small bit just above the bottom portion of the spathe. If you are not paying close attention, it appears that the bloom doesn't open at all! This behavior and morphology is totally unlike any other Alocasia blooms I have worked with or studied.
