Aloe greatheadii var.  davyana is stemless and grows singularly or in groups of up to 15 plants. The succulent leaves are arranged
in a basal rosette. The leaves range from triangular to lance-shaped, are often faintly striped above with oblong white spots arranged in
more or less distinct bands but are unspotted below and usually a whitish green; margins are armed with sharp, dark brown teeth.
