Description
This plant resembles a lower, more robust variety of A.bullulata. Its lighter green leaves are thinner than those of bullulata, and have dark longitudinal lines on the leaf undersides. Some specimens also have inconspicuous pale spots, which tend to form in longitudinal rows on the leaves. The leaves densely cover the stems which reach a height of 15 cm. The flowers (November to May) are lighter than those of bullulata.
It occurs south and east of Laingsburg, on rocky ridges in shale soils.[2][3]
This species is sometimes referred to by the unpublished name "Astroloba hallii".[4]
