Angolan stemless, solitary species with very long, upright to occasionally spreading, very well armed and heavily spotted (both sides) leaves. Plants about 2' to 2.5' tall. Teeth are a brownish color and very sharp. Flowers on multiple branched inflorescences about 3'-4' tall in winter with open, narrow conical racemes of deep, dull pink flowers with yellowy tips when open in winter. Leaf color is a turquoise and spots are prominently circular and ornamentally spaced all over leaf surfaces. It is a very ornamental plant, though flowers are a bit disappointing.
