FIGURE 4 in Reinstatement of Aloe verdoorniae (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae), a distinctively purplish blue-leaved species of maculate aloe endemic to the eastern Gauteng and western Mpumalanga provinces of South Africa

FIGURE 4. Aloe verdoorniae is a typical Highveld species that can tolerate temperatures of well below 0°C in exposed positions, for example along rocky outcrops in grassland vegetation. In protected kloofs, such as here, northeast of Bronkhorstspruit, plants grow larger. Photograph: Gideon F. Smith.

FIGURE 3. Aloe davyana. A. Plant in flower. Note the clustering habit. B. Dark brownish green leaves. The adaxial leaf surface is invariably white-spotted. C. Raceme. D. Flowers. The stamens are usually conspicuously exserted. All photographs taken by Gideon F. Smith.

FIGURE 1. Aloe verdoorniae. A. First flowering of a young plant. Note the inflorescence branching from about the middle. B. Rosette. Note the purplish blue adaxial leaf surface and haphazardly scattered maculations. C. Plant with a glaucous green adaxial leaf surface. D. A rare, highly spotted variant. The rosette divided into two after it was damaged, likely by grazing herbivores. All photographs taken by Gideon F. Smith.

FIGURE 2. Aloe verdoorniae. A. Inflorescence that reached 1 m in length. B. Raceme of a variant with only the basal ⅔ of the perianth being pinkish, and the apical ⅓ light whitish yellow and greenish striped. C. Variant with uniformly pinkish red perianths. D. Close-up of flowers. The stamens are visible at the mouth, but hardly exserted. All photographs taken by Gideon F. Smith.
