Aloinopsis is a relatively small genus of Mesembryanthemum from South Africa, whose genus name stands for "similar to an Aloe". These plants have a rather large tuberous root system, and is occasionally cultivated for their looks. They also tend to grow more "heads" when they are raised out of the soil.
