Aloe broomii Seeds

Mountain Aloe, Snake Aloe

Aloe broomii commonly known as Mountain Aloe or Snake Aloe has a unique feature that no other aloe has. The flowers and buds cannot be seen when the flower is fully open because they are completely hidden by longer bracts. All that can be seen of the flowers are the stamens and stigmas sticking out beyond the bracts. Aloe broomii is a short-stemmed, robust aloe reaching a height of 1.5 m, including the inflorescence. It is usually solitary, but occasionally the heads divide to form groups of up to 3 rosettes. The leaves are green, with reddish brown teeth along the margins, and are arranged in a dense rosette. The inflorescence is densely flowered and un-branched. The flowers are pale greenish yellow and 20 to 25mm long.
