Aloe mitriformis Seeds

Asphodelaceae, Pillans

 
Aloe mitriformis derived it's name from the shape of it's rosette that resembles a mitre or a bishop's cap, especially so during times of drought. It's not a threatened species but only occurs naturally from Nieuwhoudtville to Genadendal where it is found growing on granite outcrops & rocky ridges.

It has short leaves that are broad, fleshy and bluish-green to blue-gray in colour, depending on the amount of light it receives. Most leaves are without spots or lines but have prickly margins that are white to yellow in colour. It bears dull scarlet flowers, from December to February. This aloe is extremely drought resistant.
