Resource Type Reference Sources
Range Aloe excelsa is found in Botswana and the Northern Province; also in Zambia and Zimbabwe. It occurs on rocky outcrops and hill­sides, very often in shade in thick bush in mopane or msasa woodland. Its area of distribution is characterised by hot summers with mod­erate to low rainfall and warm, dry winters. Map 82.

Inflorescence with ± 6-12 racemes, 0.8-1.0 m tall; racemes erect to suboblique, cylindric-conical, very dense; bracts deltoid-acute, 4-6 x 3-6 mm, 3-5-nerved. Flowers scarlet to reddish orange, 25-35 mm long, cylindric-ventricose; outer segments connate in basal quarter, inner seg­ments free; pedicels 1-5 mm long. Anthers exserted 7-15 mm. Ovary ±6x2 mm; style exserted 10-15 mm. Fruit 17-20 x 11-12 mm, blue-grey. Flowering time July to September.

Resource Type Reference Sources
Range Aloe rupestris occurs in Swaziland, KwaZulu-Natal and Mozambique in Zululand thornveld, sometimes in dense bush, usually on rocky outcrops. It grows in areas with warm, completely frost-free winters. There is a sight record of this species from southern Mozam­bique, quoted by Reynolds (1950: 475). Map 79.
Information Trees; stems 6-8 m tall, usually simple. Leaves 3CMK), erect to recurved, 300-750 x 35-100 mm, channelled, deep green, without surface prickles. Inflorescence with 12-18 racemes, 1.0-1.3 m tall; racemes very dense, cylindric; bracts oblong, 1-2 x 2-3 mm. Flowers orange-yellow in bud, lemon at flowering, 15-20 mm long, cylindric-ventricose; outer segments connate in lower half, inner segments free but dorsally adnate to outer for ± 5-6 mm; pedicels 1-2 mm long. Anthers exserted 7-15 mm; fila­ments vermilion. Ovary 4-5 x 2-3 mm, green; style deep orange, exserted 7-20 mm. Fruit not seen. Flowering time August to September.

Aloe marlothii [family ALOACEAE]

Resource Type Reference Sources
Range Aloe marlothii characteristically grows on rocky hills on the highveld of the Northern Province, Mpumalanga and Gauteng, but may occur in a wide variety of habitats elsewhere. The vegetation and climate vary considerably across its range. Records of this species from Zimbabwe and Malawi (e.g. Jeppe 1969: 36) are probably based on misidentifications of A. excelsa (no. 115), which appears similar when not in flower or fruit.
Information Trees 2^(-10) m tall; stems simple. Leaves 40-50, arcuate-incurved to spreading or slight­ly recurved with age, 750-1500 x 75-250 mm, channelled to D-shaped in section, glaucous, usually with irregular prickles on both surfaces, these normally fewer on upper surface. Inflorescence of spreading to rarely erect, usu­ally secund, rarely cylindric racemes, with up to 30 branches; bracts ovate-acute, 4-9 x 2-5 mm, 3-5-nerved. Flowers yellow to red in bud, yel­low to orange at flowering, cylindric to ventri-cose, 22-35 mm long; outer segments connate for one third to half their length, inner segments adnate to outer in basal third; pedicles 3-5 mm long. Anthers exserted 8-20 mm. Ovary 5.0-9.0 x 1.5-5.0 mm, green; style exserted 6-20 mm. Fruit 19-21 x 10-12 mm, grey.
