Aloe arborescens [family ALOACEAE]
Flora of South Africa, (2003) Author: Dr J.P. Roux
South African National Biodiversity Institute, Compton Herbarium, Cape Town (SAM)
Reference Sources
Aloe arborescens is found in Botswana, Swaziland, the Northern Province, North-West, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, the Western and Eastern Cape; also in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. It usually occurs in pockets of rich soil on rocky outcrops in mountains in areas of high summer rainfall. The Cape Peninsula populations are also found in rocky places, but here the highest rainfall is in winter. Plants growing on deep soil probably indicate abandoned sites of cultivation. Map 68.
Much-branched arborescent shrubs up to 3 m tall; if on rock faces then solitary to few-branched. Leaves many per rosette, spreading to slightly reflexed, 250-600 x 20-70 mm, blue-green. Inflorescence usually a simple, rarely branched, dense, broadly conical, ± 800 mm long raceme; bracts ovate-acute, 12-20 x 7-12 mm, many-nerved. Flowers scarlet throughout, or becoming yellow at anthesis, 30-40 mm long; pedicels 20^-0 mm long. Anthers exsertÂed 1-5 mm. Ovary 4-10 x 1.5-3.0 mm, green; style exserted 3-9 mm. Fruit ± 22 x 6-7 mm, pale grey. Flowering season (April to) June to July, depending on locality.
Aloe hardyi [family ALOACEAE]

South African National Biodiversity Institute, Compton Herbarium, Cape Town (SAM)
Reference Sources
Aloe hardyi occurs in almost inaccessible places on cliffs on the escarpment in the Northern Province. Its exact range is not known because of the difficulty of approaching plants. It grows in the mist belt in an area of high summer rainfall, warm summers and cold winters. The area in which it occurs is notable for the high proportion of endemism in the local flora. Map 67.
Plants pendent; stems up to ± 1.5 m long, rosettes 300-600 x 300-600 mm. Leaves someÂtimes distichous, 12-20 per rosette, hanging, 400-700 x 50-80 mm, glaucous blue-green. Inflorescence a simple, subdense, conical to subcapitate raceme, 2 or 3 simultaneously, ± 250 mm long; peduncle with few truncate sterÂile bracts; bracts obovate-acute, 14-17 x 10-15 mm, many-nerved. Flowers pink to red, slightÂly trigonously indented, 25-35 mm long; pedicels 15-30 mm long. Anthers exserted up to 5 mm. Style exserted up to 8 mm. Flowering time June to August. Figure 18.
Aloe pluridens [family ALOACEAE]
Flora of South Africa, (2003) Author: Dr J.P. Roux
South African National Biodiversity Institute, Compton Herbarium, Cape Town (SAM)
Reference Sources
Aloe pluridens is found in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Near the southern Cape coast it usually occurs on relatively deep sandy soil in valley bushveld. In this area rain may fall at any time, with a summer maximum, and the average annual rainfall is relatively low. Map 67.
Plants arborescent, 2-3(-5) m tall; stems with few branches, rarely simple. Leaves 30-40 per rosette, spreading to recurved, 450-700 x 35-60 mm, pale green to yellow-green, obscurely lined. Inflorescences dense, conical racemes with up to 4 branches, 0.8-1.0 m tall, without sterile bracts below first branch; bracts ovate-acute to obovate-obtuse, 15-20 x 6-12 mm, many-nerved. Flower salmon-pink to scarÂlet, 35-45 mm long; pedicels 17-35 mm long. Anthers exserted up to 4 mm. Ovary 6-11 x 2-4 mm, green; style exserted up to 8 mm. Fruit ± 20 x 11 mm, yellow-brown. Flowering time May to June.
