Description: Gasteria gracilis is not currently considered a valid species, this species was described a long time ago with no preserved samples, and therefore, botanically it does not exist, but is a very real plant, however. One problem with Gasteria is that there are so many hybrids between species seedling variability, and differences between juvenile and adult plants, that it becomes almost impossible to distinguish many forms from one another. Particularly the name gracilis is used for wildly different forms and can cause confusion.
Habit: Acaulescent.
Rosettes: 5-7 cm in diameter, stemless with basal leaves.
Leaves:Distichous. 9–10, Fleshy, fat, lanceolate, to pillowy, tongue-like. Smooth, shiny, green, green speckled or pale greysh-green but very variable in different clones.
Flowers: Small up to 2 cm, pendulous, tubular, bicoloured reddish-pink and green that look like little stomachs. The inflorescence can be branched and tall.
Blooming season: Flowers can be produced any time of year, peaking in midwinter to spring.
