Stapelia mutabilis is a small succulent plant with fleshy stems with four angles lined with conical spreading teeth. The stems can grow up to 18 inches (45 cm) long and 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) thick. They are green, sometimes tinged with purple, and slightly glaucous. In the fall, Stapelia mutabilis produces beautiful star-shaped flowers near the base of the younger stems or higher up on the older ones. The flowers can reach up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. The corolla is smooth on both surfaces and has vibratile purple hairs along the margins, nearly or quite to the tips of the lobes. The apical third of the corolla lobes are light or dark purple-brown, and the remainder is yellowish or greenish-yellow, covered with transversely elongated spots or irregular transverse purple-brown lines, becoming fainter on the annulus. The outer corona lobes are yellowish, speckled with purple-brown, and often have a broad central stripe of the same color, while the inner corona lobes are yellowish and thickly dotted with purple-brown.
