Delosperma calitzdorpense leaves of all ages

The variable leaves of Delosperma calitzdorpense grow in nearly equal to equal pairs. They are triangular in cross-section from a deep keel. The margins are sharply angular, tapering and curving to tips bearing mucros. The leaves become about 1,5 cm long.

There is some pinkish red near some leaf tips along the keel margins, as well as some surface wrinkling from moisture loss. The surfaces are pale grey-green and smooth or faintly velvety. 

The plant is thought to be palatable to game and stock (Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Smith, et al, 1998).
