Succulent, perennial shrub. Stems slender, 1-3 m high, branched, erectly spreading or scandent to recurved or decumbent, without persistent dried leaves. Leaves in lax rosette, glaucous-green, without spots, linear-lanceolate, 100-150 mm long, margins narrow, white, cartilaginous, with minute, white teeth; sheath obscurely green-lineate, not auriculate. Inflorescence simple or branched, ascending to erect, 0.3-0.4 m high, with cylindric, slightly acuminate, subdense to dense racemes. Flowers yellow, orange or red with yellow tips, 11-15 mm long; stamens and stigma well exserted. Flowering time all year.
Flowering Period: This is variable in different localities, and appears to depend to some extent on the rains. Although flowers have been recorded as far apart as August to May, it seems that October to December is the most frequent flowering time, but this requires further investigation.
