Aloe pienaarii Seeds
Gorgeous South African Indigenous Aloe
Aloe pienaarii was formally described by Pole Evans in 1915. In 1950 it was sunk into Aloe cryptopoda but it has been upheld in our neighbouring countries and is now resurrected in South Africa. It is solitary, or suckering to form small groups of plants. Normally they are acaulescent or they have a very short stem. The leaves are held in a compact rosette and are dark greyish-green. The tips are tinged reddish in dry conditions. The leaves are slightly rough on the surface and without spots. It is found in Mozambique, Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Swaziland and southern Tanzania on the Mozambique border. It grows mainly on very thin soil in rocky slopes, usually steep and exposed with little or no grass.
