Perennial succulent; stems erect, 200 x 12 mm, pubescent, grey-green, 4-angled, not prominently tuberculate. Flowers 1-8; pedicels up to 20 mm long. Sepals up to 5 mm long. Corolla rotate, 16-30 mm in diam., glabrous to slightly pubescent, transversely rugulose, red to purple usually with irregular transverse yellowish lines; lobes as wide as long, spreading to recurved. Corona 4.5-7.0 mm in diam., dark red to blackish, variable; outer lobes ascending, rectangular, ± 1.5 mm long; inner lobes ± 2.5 mm long, keeled, appressed to anthers at base, erect to connivent-erect above with recurved apices.

At the western end of the Baviaanskloof, the stems of subsp. kougabergensis are short and slender and rather like those of subsp. scitula. However, in most other places they are rather thicker (8 -12 mm) and may be up to 80 mm or more tall. They are always quite obviously pubescent, unlike those in some forms of S. hirsuta which occur in the same general area, where they are nearly glabrous. The flowers are mostly quite small and are usually borne near the bases of the stems. Inside, the background colour may be anything from dark purple to brick-red and dull to shiny. Towards the bases of the lobes and below them there are usually a few irregular, transverse pale yellow bars, but these may even be dense, in which case the flower looks like a small version of that of S. villetiae. Some of the more boldly coloured ones emit a slight unpleasant odour. Generally the inside of the flower is more or less devoid of hairs but in some specimens it is quite clearly hairy and these are very similar to flowers found in subsp. scitula. The corona lobes are extremely variable, as is usual in Stapelia, and while the inner lobes normally rise beyond the end of the anthers, they sometimes meet in the centre and form a column. In material from the Baviaanskloof the inner corona lobes are dorsally keeled but have almost no dorsal horn. Those from the western end of the Suurberg, on the other hand, have quite significant, laterally flattened dorsal horns, often nearly as long as the lobes themselves. These plants also have less obviously pubescent stems than is usual for S. paniculata, but the very small flowers suggest that this is where they belong. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005.

Plants of subsp. kougabergensis are always found on soils derived from sandstones. They grow in shallow soils on outcrops of rock, mostly in the open and only rarely sheltered by small bushes. Some records from the Baviaanskloof are from an altitude of nearly 950 m, which is unusually high for a stapeliad in this region. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005.

Subsp. kougabergensis is known in a few places in the western part of the Long Kloof around Saptou, in the western part of the Baviaanskloof, in the mountains south of Steytlerville and also at the western end of the Suurberg. Although it has not been found growing socially with S. hirsuta or S. grandiflora, these species often occur nearby. From: Bruyns, PV. 2005. Stapeliads of southern Africa and Madagascar, Vol. 2.
