Description
provided by Flora of Zimbabwe
Perennial herb without stinging hairs, often epiphytic or lithophytic, with succulent stems 1-2 cm thick and 40-50 cm long. Leaves towards the end of the stems, opposite with one leaf in a pair reduced in size or absent, thus appearing alternate. Lamina up to 12 cm long, asymmetrically lanceolate-elliptic; margin serrate. Flowers in clusters, axillary or along the stems below the leaves, unisexual with male inflorescences rather rare.
