FIGURE 7. Aloe mitriformis, a in An annotated catalogue of Aloe and Aloiampelos (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae) naturalised and escaped in continental Portugal

FIGURE 7. Aloe mitriformis, a distinctive, South African representative of the genus, has long, creeping stems. It occurs naturally in the western parts of the Western Cape province and southern Northern Cape province, an area that experiences a Mediterranean-type climate, i.e., mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers, not unlike that prevalent over much of Portugal.

FIGURE 3. Two nothospecies with which Aloe maculata can be confused. A. Aloe ×schimperi [A. maculata × A. striata] cultivated in the Botanical Garden of the University of Porto, Porto. Note the distinctly pinkish leaf margins, a character inherited from A. striata. B. The flowers of A. ×schimperi lack the prominent basal swellings present in A. maculata. Both photographs A and B were taken on 22 December 2017. C. The rosettes of A. ×commutata [A. grandidentata × A. maculata] resemble those of A. maculata, but, as shown in D, its inflorescences are elongated (not capitate) and the flowers of this nothospecies, too, lack basal swellings, as found in A. grandidentata. Both photographs C and D were taken in the Huntington Botanical Gardens, San Marino, California, U.S.A., on 27 April 2011. All photographs by Gideon F. Smith.

FIGURE 4 in An annotated catalogue of Aloe and Aloiampelos (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae) naturalised and escaped in continental Portugal

FIGURE 4. Aloe ×nobilis in Portugal. A. The leaves are dark green, often more so when growing in shaded positions, as here. Leaf margins are concolorous and carry rather widely spaced, firm, white to slightly yellowish teeth, which gave rise to the English common name, golden tooth aloe. In full sun the leaves are usually distinctly reddish-infused. B. The cylindrical-conical, subdense racemes are up to 30 cm long. Photograph taken on 29 June 2012 of a plant cultivated in central Portugal. C. Aloe ×nobilis (in the container on the right) is commonly cultivated in Portugal, here in a domestic garden near the town of Serra de Santo António in the centre of the country. A ×Gasteraloe Guillaumin (1931: 339) hybrid [Aloe × Gasteria Duval (1809: 6)] grows in the container on the left. Photograph taken on 1 January 2013. D. Naturalised in dune vegetation at Praia do Amado, near Portimão, Algarve. Photograph taken on 17 September 2013. All photographs by Gideon F. Smith.

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.
