The cylindrical, blue-green to pale green leaves of Crassothonna cylindrica are borne erectly, becoming about 4 cm long and 5 mm wide. They curve in near the base slightly where there are hardly petioles to speak of. The leaf tips taper to sharpish points (Le Roux, et al, 2005; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
