These are beautifully channeled, ovate-rounded, tongue-like. held on wide petioles. Adult leaves are often covered with a blue wax, which fades out with time.

This species is native to seasonal open forest on rocky slopes in Northern Peru at 1000-1500 meters. When kept in succulent collections, mature bulbs often stay around 5-6 cm in diameter and leaves seldom get longer than 15 cm., but with age and pot space they can reach very large sizes: old specimes are said to attain bulb diameters of 15 cm and leaves of 20-30 cm in length. Inflorescences are produced in winter, or during the rest. green flowers.

The genus Rauhia is a relative of Eucrosia and Phaedranassa and this species, Rauhia multiflora, was formerly called Rauhia peruviana.
