A distinctive feature is the "retuse", deltoid, recurved shape of the leaves. The falls are wide, obovate often retuse (rounded), and long, and wide. The standards are broadly lanceolate and have a rounded top (retuse). Its leaves are not recurved like the "retuse" Haworthias (e.g. "Haworthia mirabilis" or "Haworthia retusa"). The leaves are retuse to slightly cordate, having a small lobe at the base.
