==Description==
Species of ''Aspidistra'' are perennial herbaceous plants growing from rhizomes. The leaves are either solitary or are grouped in small "tufts" of two to four. They arise more or less directly from the rhizome, rather than being borne on stems. Each leaf has a long stalk (petiole) and a blade with many veins. The flowering stem (scape) is usually very short so that the flowers appear low down among the leaves. The fleshy flowers are bell-, urn- or cup-shaped.〔 They vary considerably in size and shape, although few are showy. The flowers of ''A. longipedunculata'' are yellow and, unusually for the genus, are borne on scapes up to high. ''A. grandiflora'' has spider-like flowers up to across. The flower has a large stigma with a flattened top. The fruit is a berry, often with a single seed.〔, in
