Summary

[edit]
Description

Also a Crassula, and behind that some different Euphorbias.

From the private cactus collection at Manor Nurseries, Angmering - started by the owners in 1946 - it features cacti from all corners of the world ...

From Wikipedia - Aloe striata Native of South Africa, it is widely distributed over the Eastern & South Western Cape province. Aloe striata grows in large colonies on stony soils in rocky hillsides in arid areas near the coast and the drier inland karoo areas.

Common names include Coral Aloe (English), Blouaalwyn (Afrikaner).

Synonyms include - Aloe striata var. oligospila Aloe albocincta Aloe hanburiana Aloe paniculata Aloe rhodocincta Aloe albocincta

As with most Aloes, the plants provide nectar during winter which is an important source of food for the attractive sunbirds and many other nectivorous birds during the cooler period of the year when food is not readily available.
