The little branched shoot has a diameter of 0.5 to 2 centimeters. The leaf rosettes are 5 to 20 centimeters in diameter. The somewhat rosette, obovate-lanceolate to obovate-spatulate leaves are at the top of the shoot and are briefly pointed with a concave top. They are 3 to 13 inches long, 2 to 4 inches wide, green and often reddened or hairy white.
The inflorescence consists of simple ears up to 70 centimeters high . The flower stalk becomes more or less 2 millimeters long. The ascending to widely spread sepals are 13 to 15 millimeters long.
