The leaves are fleshy and strap-shaped, 8-20 cm long and 1. In Botany, a leaf is an above-ground Plant organ specialized for Photosynthesis. 5-3 cm broad, tapering from the base (or from near middle) and are mostly green. They are arranged in a rosette. The flowers are white, with five petals 7-10 mm long; they are produced in April, May, and June.
