Rosettes: 1,2-1,3 m wide and up to 2 m in diameter, large with about 30-50 leaves, often prostrate, openly spreading, more or less irregular in shape with contorted leaves flattened on the ground.
Leaves: 100-135 cm long 20-30 cm wide, soft-fleshy, convoluted, recurved from the centre, broadly lanceoate, frequently undulate, thick at base, flat above, convex below, generally characteristically sandpaper-surfaced, dusky green to slightly glaucous, often zonate (distinctly striped) in pale blue and greyish green, but quite variable in differed populations and clones. The shape and patterns of leaves also depends on cultivation conditions. The back of leaves are often purple in young specimens. Margins deeply serrated, teeth more or less numerous, mostly 6-12 mm long, 2-5 cm apart, irregularly arranged on nipples, flattened, mostly straight, castaneous to dark brown, interstitial teeth few or none; apical spine usually short conic, 1.5-3 cm long and horny.
