The stems of the K. 'beharensis' are usually unbranched, to about 4-5 feet, possibly as much as 10 feet. The leaves are triangular to lance shaped, covered with a dense felt-like coat of white to brown hairs. Each leaf is 4-8 inches long, and half as wide. The hybrids between this and other species differ in leaf size, color, degree of felting, and scalloping. The flowers are not generally showy. They are very hardy in the tropical south, but are grown mainly as houseplants.
