Aloe suprafoliata Height:15 This branched and cylindrical cactusThis peculiar succulent is commonly known as book aloe, for its unique leaf formation. Slim, lanceolate leaves grow to the side, layered one on top of the other like pages of a book. Thick blue grey leaves arch at the tips, and eventually die back to produce scarring on the stem of the plant. With maturity Aloe suprafoliata will develop the more usual rosette of leaves.
