Distinguishing Features
While resembling Rhaphidophora spathacea, R. guamensis is immediately distinguishable by the solitary inflorescence carried on the tip of a free lateral shoot, and which does not emerge from a mass of chartaceous prophyll and cataphylls, and also by the robustly stipitate spadix. In addition, the remarkably long stigmatic stipe is notable.
