With age horizontal furrows will mark the sides of the ribs as well the midline line between the edges of two contiguous ribs becomes characteristically ondulated. The stems is also usually darker green, strong, compact and flat. However juvenile specimens up to 3-5 years old have sharp ribs and are virtually indistinguishable from other myriostigmas.
