The pictures below were made on the edge of a Eucalyptus forest a few hundred meters from my home. As is usual for them, the plants occur here on rocky outcrops, well hidden in patches of coarse sand or between stones.
They slowly form small groups of rosettes. Each rosette is 4 -7 cm in diameter, consisting of few to many, dark green to brown leaves which are usually flat above and rough with raised tubercles; the margins and keel are decorated with small spines.
In March- May the plants produce inflorescences up to 30 cm tall with white flowers (often with a yellow throat).
Accompanied by Adromischus filicaulis ssp. marlothii
I’m wondering about the long, stringy, dead material in (especially) the second and third images, toward the left.
