We are not a professional nor experts in Aloe taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date pur list we've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. We only ship to the main 48 States and we can ship in the winter. I do offer 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. Please read the front page for ordering information.

Aloe erinacea m -
Only recently discovered (botanically, that is) in the mid 1980's in Namibia, it
seems strange that such an impressive plant could have remained unknown for so
long. It is a winter-growing species, related and very similar to Aloe
melanacantha but it can be distinguished from the latter by its open rosettes of
spreading leaves and shorter flowers. The plant is compact and almost never
offsets, but in habitat it occurs in clusters of up to10 (or more) stems covered
with old leaves bases. Leaves are pale
grayish-green, blue-grey or brownish green (in full sun), narrow, deltoid
lanceolate, biconvex, keeled, leaves are curved inwards, which gives the plant
its rounded shape. About 8-16 long x 3-4 cm wide, and armed with sharp white or
black spines, arranged singularly along the keel and margins. They are not
tender, but firm and can scrape you. Spines are up to10 mm long, and are glossy
white in the younger leaves. The thorns at the leaf bases may be shorter and
whitish.

Aloe
variegata (Partridge Breast Aloe) lg -
This smaller aloe grows to 10 to 12 inches tall to 9 inches wide and forms
rosettes, sometimes solitary but often clustered, with leaves arranged in 3
ranks that are upright with a boat-hull shape (lanceolata-deltoid) that have a
distinct gutter down the middle. The leaf margins have tiny blunt white teeth
along the entire length and are a white color that stands out well against the
dark green color of the leaf, which also has short longitudinally-arranged white
spots on upper and lower surfaces that often line up in horizontal bands, giving
this plant the common name of Tiger Aloe. The spots are also said to resemble
those on a partridge breast, which gives this plant its most used common name.
The plant will get red highlights that turn the deep green to a more brown color
when the plant is drought stressed. The pink to pale red flowers appear on
short, stout, and sometimes branched inflorescences.
