Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Dec 1, 2019 8:08 PM concerning plant:
Stemless, offsetting, glaucous gray-green Arabian aloe with bright yellow flowers. Inflorescences may have 1 or 2 branches. Flowers are sigmoid in shape, with fine hairs and greenish tips. This plant may be confused with A. woodii, a normally solitary aloe with a wider distribution.
Described in 2014. The species name (accent on the second syllable) comes from a Greek word meaning unblemished or unattainable, referring to its inaccessible, isolated location on rock faces and cliffs at 2000m in southwestern Saudi Arabia. Rainfall in this location (about 10 inches a year) is highest in spring and summer, lowest in early fall. Flowers appear in spring.
