Field Notes

Description:

Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed succulent plant growing to 60–100 cm (24–39 in) tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on the upper and lower stem surfaces. The margin of the leaf is serrated and has small white teeth.

Aloe cryptopoda looks very similar to your spotting, solid ID as far as I can tell.

Hi Thanks for the correction. I tried to id the species - let me know what you think

Cool spotting, aloes are some of my favorite plant species. Due to the flower color, this specimen appears to be an aloe species other than Aloe vera, which have canary yellow corollas (flowers).
