Aloe bellatula (live succulent)

Aloe bellatula (live succulent)

Family: Aloaceae

It is a small stemless and suckering species forming dense fleshy clump of upright leaves. It is distinguished by having thin leaves, up to 13 cm long, with the upper side slightly grooved. Although both surfaces of the leaves are covered with rough papillae, they are very flexible. Tiny, pale teeth along the leaf margins make them feel rough rather than sharp. The flowers are pendulous, bright coral-red, long, bell-shaped on the end of a long stalk.
