) by its suckering habit that results in the establishment of dense groups of rosettes. It is further characterised by its erect to spreading, greyish-green to glaucous green leaves (30-60
6-15 cm) with rather small closely-spaced marginal teeth. The inflorescence is erect to oblique, up to 1.5 m high and 6- to 12-branched with the lower branches spreading and rebranching. Floral bracts are short (3-6 mm) and pedicels oblique to almost horizontal (up to 25 mm). Flowers are mostly reddish, 35-40 mm long and narrowed above the ovary.
