Aloe Zanzibarica - |
|
| Known from a few scattered sites on the western limestone plateau. In the Red Data Book (1977) it is classed as Endangered with the following comment In 1967 it was seen to be still surviving but only in critically low numbers and severely threatened by large herds of goats in its native habitat. It is certainly still true that the numbers are low but populations are typically found on inaccessible cliffs and it unlikely to be eaten except in times of severe drought. However, even small-scale collecting of this attractive succulent could threaten the survival of subpopulations.Aloe squarossa is a climbing, clumping Aloe. It forms large clusters of pups. It has green leaves (brownish-yellow in sunnier areas). The spines are soft and white and the leaves are full of small white bumpy spots. These can climb to over 14” tall. Similar to Aloe concinna, Aloe squarrossa has wider leaves. It has reddish flowers.
