Amorphophallus konjac (leaves)

Plants which flowered, but are not busy fructifying, emit a leaf in summer. It has the form of a palm stem bearing numerous leaflets. From larger rhizomes more than one leaf may emerge and large leaves sometimes ramificate, as shown in the images below. Plants which did not flower in spring emit their leaf earlier to gain as much strength as possible and enlarge their rhizomes.
