Aloe dinteri
''Aloe dinteri'' ("Namibian Partridge Aloe") is a species of plant in the genus ''Aloe''. It is native to arid areas of Angola and Namibia.
==Description==
The plants form stemless rosettes of up to 30cm wide. Smaller suckers sometimes offshoot from the main stem. The long sharp, triangular leaves are dark brownish green with white linear spots and cartilaginous margins. Tall, very thin multi-branched inflorescences appear from January to March, with small sparse pale pink and sometimes bluish flowers.
It is named after German botanist Kurt Dinter. Taxonomically, it forms part of the ''Serrulatae'' series of three very closely related ''Aloe'' species, together with ''Aloe variegata'' and ''Aloe sladeniana''. Recent phylogenetic studies have shown these three species to possibly constitute an entirely separate genus, with the suggested name ''Gonialoe''.〔(Introduction to revision of Aloe genus )〕
While this species looks rather similar to its two sister species, it can be distinguished from ''Aloe sladeniana'' by its longer leaves which curve downwards, and it can be distinguished from ''Aloe variegata'' by its large size, taller thinner sparser inflorescence, and the spots on its leaves being more linear, almost to the point of being stripes. The bracts of ''A.dinteri'' are 3 nerved, unlike its sister species which are 1 nerved. ''A.dinteri'' also has an unusually large root stock; its roots form a far larger percentage of its body weight than all the rest of the plant put together.〔http://posa.sanbi.org/flora/results_browse.php?src=FloraSA&taxon=genno=2206,spno=79〕
