This famous and fabled Aloe has an unknown heritage, although some think it originated from a remote region of southern Oman. Now cosmopolitan, and indeed an invasive species in some regions, it is renowned for its medicinal properties, including the burn-healing power of its sap. These plants have solid gray-green leaves, and the yellow flowers are closely appressed against the inflorescence. These plants are rooted offsets in 3-gallon pots.
