Mitre Aloe, Bishop's Cap Aloe

Aloe mitriformis derived its name from the shape of its 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-grey 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 early to mid-summer. Aloe mitriformis is extremely drought resistant.
