Its leaf blades grow very large, are slightly coriaceous, rather glossy, elongate-oblanceolate. Primary lateral veins are very distinctly prominent below. Midrib almost 5 mm wide at the base, strongly attenuating upwards, sunken above, distinctly prominent below. Secondary and tertiary veins numerous, more slender than primary veins, and parallel with them.

The plant so called because it clings to trees.
