Description
Like most Gasterias, juvenile plants are "distichous" (leaves in two ranks)
It is most closely related to the species Gasteria glauca, Gasteria ellaphieae and Gasteria nitida. The flowers of all four species are also almost identical.
However it can be distinguished by its smooth, triangular (usually recurved), strap shaped leaves.

gollark: I am at least not too against Nobody, say, finding that someone has some exposed informatiodataæ™ on the internet, and privately telling them so; I *am* against them apparently just saying "ahahahahahaha look at me I have found your information" and refusing to stop.
gollark: I mean, the arguments are pretty similar to the ones about vulnerabilities in network/computery stuff, but generally it's considered nice *there* to *stop doing stuff if the owner tells you to*.
