Eriospermum aequilibre is a geophyte with a tuberous root with a limited distribution between Oudtshoorn and Uniondale.
The narrow spear shaped leaves are carried on stalks of variable size and the leaf colour varies from green to grey-green. The leaves are usually up straight.
Near Oudtshoorn some of the plants have fairly large leaves and the the leaves tend to be green while further south the leaves tend to be greyish and smaller.
At one place near Oudtshoorn some leaves are slightly crisped although this is uncommon.
The plants flower in late summer and autumn on a relatively long peduncle. The flowers are yellowish. Like others in the genus few plants flower and seed is relatively difficult to obtain.
