Aloe cameronii
Also known as: Information to be completed
A succulent with long curved and thorny leaves in a fleshy rosette, forming a mat of plantlets in time. Its speckled green leaves become deep coppery red in hot sunshine and in drought. When light levels and temperatures drop and/or water is available, they revert to green. In autumn, spires of orange flowers are held on tall stems, usually one per rosette, but sometimes more.
