''Aloe ciliaris'' (the Common Climbing Aloe) is a thin, tough, rapidly growing climbing Aloe from South Africa. ==Appearance== They can be differentiated from other climbing aloes by the way that the soft, white, hair-like teeth (''=ciliaris'') that grow along the margins of the leaves, extend all the way around the stem, at the base of the leaf. The fleshy leaves themselves are strongly recurved (helping to anchor the tall stems in dense thickets and assist the aloe in climbing). The leaf sheaths are conspicuously striped green and white. These aloes grow very quickly, producing long, thin, untidy stems that shoot upwards, producing large bright orange-red flowers once they reach the sun. If there are no nearby trees to act as host and support, it just forms a straggly shrub. The red flowers appear mostly from November to April. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aloe ciliaris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
