Albuca bracteata, also known as Ornithogalum caudatum, is a bulbous geophyte that can be planted with the top of the bulb above ground, exposing the adventitious bulblets produced on the outermost scale throughout the year. It also produces drooping green leaves. The bulb is smooth, globose to ovoid, and can reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, resembling an onion. The leaves are semi-succulent and can grow up to 3.3 feet (100 cm) long and 2 inches (5 cm) wide.

The white flowers with a broad, green central band appear in a dense raceme in spring and summer. The fruits are globose to ovate and measure up to 0.4 inches (1 cm) in length and 0.25 inches (0.6 cm) in diameter.
