description

Vegetative characteristics

Aloe fulleri has a short stem and simply grows. The approximately twelve sword-shaped leaves form rosettes . The glauk- green, occasionally yellowish tinged leaf blade is 45 centimeters long and 8 centimeters wide. The stinging, brown teeth on the reddish-brown, cartilaginous leaf margin are 1 to 2 millimeters long and 12 to 15 millimeters apart.

Inflorescences and flowers

The inflorescence consists of one or two branches and reaches a length of 40 to 70 centimeters. The loose, cylindrical, pointed grapes are 30 to 35 centimeters long. The bracts , pink at their base, are 12 to 15 millimeters long. The coral-red flowers are on 5 to 6 millimeter long peduncles . Their tips are pink and cream in color. On their outside, especially on the tips, they are densely and tiny papillosis. The flowers are 35 millimeters long and narrowed at their base. At the level of the ovary , the flowers are 7 millimeters in diameter. Above this they are narrowed to 5 millimeters and finally widened to the mouth. Your outer tepals are not fused together over a length of 15 millimeters. The stamens and the stylus barely protrude from the flower.

Systematics and distribution

Aloe fulleri is common in Yemen at altitudes of 500 to 900 meters.
