The fleshy, cylindrical to weakly angled stems that flatten when dry, are covered with short, coarse, stiff hairs. The thick leaves, 12 to 30 cm long (4.7 to 12 in) and 4 to 14 cm (1.6 to 5.5 in) wide, are inversely egg-shaped to broadly elliptic or rarely inversely lance-shaped. Eight to 80 or more flowers are arranged on a densely hairy flowering stalk with an erect stalk up to 10 mm (0.4 in) long. The pale greenish yellow or pale-yellow corolla is 20 to 35 mm (0.8 to 1.4 in) long. The tubular portion of the flower is urn-shaped; the flower lobes are lance-shaped and 8 to 13 mm (0.3 to 0.5 in) long. The elliptic, lance-shaped fruits are two-valved capsules 32 to 35 mm (1.3 to 1.4 in) long.
