This member of the Aizoaceae family was
given this name by Martin Heinrich Gustav Schwantes in 1926. It is found in
western South Africa, growing in grit or another well
drained soil with little to some water and lots of sun. The swollen
roots can grow to seven centimetres in diameter, the plant can grow
to twelve centimetres height. The flowers are yellow with thin, red
stripes.
The genera name means 'looking
like Aloe' - although I fail to see that! The species name means
'red-lined flower' - I do get that.
This is a winter grower. |
