''Aloe petricola'' belongs to the ''Aloe'' genus in the Xanthorrhoeaceae family, and is commonly known as a stone aloe. This particular aloe is a flowering species with unique and distinct inflorescences, which make the plant easy to identify and distinguish from other ''Aloe'' plants.〔(Faucon, Phillipe. “Aloe petricola” Desert-Tropicals.(2005). )〕 ''Aloe petricola'' is very popular for gardening because of its beautiful and radiant colors. Like many ''Aloe'' species, ''Aloe petricola'' is used for medical purposes, as it aids in healing wounds and minor burns. ==Description== ''Aloe petricola'' is a medium sized plant that grows fairly low to the ground. This plant reaches anywhere from 18-24 inches in height and can reach a little over a meter in width, while its inflorescences can reach about 4 feet, surpassing the height of the plant's fleshy leaves. 〔(Riffle, Robert L. “The Tropical Look: an encyclopedia of dramatic landscape plants.” p. 42 )〕 This succulent plant is virtually stemless and has rosettes of blue-green colored leaves.〔(Succulent Plants. “Aloe petricola” )〕 These leaves contain thorns on their surfaces and have short, triangular toothed margins. A mature plant can have up to six branches of flowers, which are long, skinny, densely flowered racemes, carried on stout stems. The inflorescences are tightly packed with dark brown antlers, and typically include at least two colors, usually a deep red towards the top where the buds are seen, and cream-yellow color at the bottom towards the base, reaching the stem of the flower. Flowers on the ''Aloe petricola'' plant are tube-shaped and about 30mm long.〔(Succulent-Plant-Site. (2004) )〕 The colors on these plants are bright and vibrant, and they change as they begin to open, revealing more of the yellow color towards the bottom.
