Almost intermediate in character and aspect between A. carnosa and A. sarcodes ": 
". more nearly related to the former, from the more luxuriant states of which, except 
by the longer and acute calyx-lobes, it is sometimes with difficulty distinguished. 
Foliage pale. Flowers yellow.

A much branched, ramulous, erect shrub, with the habit of A. carnosa, from 
which it is sufficiently distinguished by the pungent leaves and the calyx. Leaves 
two lines long, spreading, variably mucronate, and sometimes almost pointless.
