    Dwarf aloe from South Africa with glaucous, erect to incurved leaves that have small white prickles or bumps. Solitary or offsetting at the base. Flowers are pink to coral red and nice for the size of the plant. Fruit and seed are both quite large compared to the rosette. Named for the long exserted style of the flowers. Somewhat similar to Aloe peglerae but easily distinguished in flower. Very susceptible to the aloe mite.
