Aloe congolensis

Post by Aloenut »

Hi All,

There has been quite a lot of discussion recently on the Aloe Yahoo Group regarding Aloe congolensis. The description in Reynolds does not come close to this. Perhaps it is a hybrid of Aloe dorotheae?

Hi Aloenut,

I don't recognise your plant - do you know anything about the source of it? It may indeed be a hybrid.

The name A. congolensis isn't recognised in IHOSP if that's any help!
Cheers,
Colin
