Glottiphyllum fergusoniae (Glottiphyllum fergusoniae)
Description
The leaves are decussate (produced in alternate, perpendicular pairs) slender, erect and tapering gradually to a point. They are covered in a fine, pale waxy covering that gives the leaves a slight grey colour. The seed capsule is held close to the plant, has valves with awns, and even after it has dried out and released its seeds, it remains persistent on the plant, for many years.
