Gasteria pulchra is a succulent plant restricted to a locality in the Albany thickets vegetation of the Eastern Cape, South Africa.[1]

Description

It can be distinguished by its long, smooth, slender, ascending, sharp pointed leaves. It sometimes develops a short ascending stem.

Young plants have distichous, strap shaped leaves. In mature plants, the upper surface of the leaves becomes channeled and concave, while the lower surface becomes convex with a keel. Leaves are smooth and dark green, with white spots in bands.
