This herbaceous, deciduous perennial produces large compound leaves to 120 cm wide from a sizeable underground tuber. The tall inflorescences sport yellowish bracts and long, threadlike bracteoles. The small flowers are followed by round fruits with many seeds. The tuber is starchy and edible and used to be a Polynesian staple food. Tacca leontopetaloides is widespread from tropical Asia to the Pacific Islands and makes an unusual ornamental for tropical climates or a crop that will grow in poor soils close to the ocean.
