| Other Details: Too many other species of aloe look similar to this one... Difficult telling these apart.. has linear striations as well as the flecking nice mottling on leaves. Prominent and very sharp brownish teeth along the leaf margins. Flowers are in the fall and highly branched and variable in coloration. Stemless aloe from South Africa. Produces one flower spike at a time, but flowers have so many branching racemes (dozens sometimes) that it looks like there must be a lot more. |
