CAPE ALOE (Aloe Ferox):
The bitter aloe or Cape aloe is a species indigenous to the Cape coastal region of South Africa, occurring in Swellendam in the west and extending to the southern parts of KwaZulu-Natal in the east. This cherished, popular ornamental aloe is single-stemmed with erect racemes of red, orange, yellow or rarely white flowers and spreading or gracefully curved thorny leaves (the ferox in its name literally means ferocious). Aloe ferox has been used since ancient times and has a well-documented history of use as medicine. This plant is one of only a few plants depicted in San rock and Dutch Afrikaner paintings. The bitter latex, known as Cape aloe, is used as laxative medicine and is considered to have bitter tonic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anticancer properties.
