It is a monocarpic species with late flowering, characterized by elongated, prominent tubercles, distinguishing it from more compact congeners. Leaves are cylindrical, 8-12 cm long, arranged in an open rosette, green-grey with violet hues under water stress. Prominent longitudinal tubercles up to 3 cm in length run along the stem.
