Leaves are narrowly linear to lanceolate (hence \u003ci\u003estenophylla\u003c\/i\u003e, meaning narrow-leaved), entire-margined, and clustered at the tips of thickened, succulent-like branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/b\u003e Moderate-growing warm-season deciduous caudiciform perennial.
