Aloe plicatilis

''Aloe plicatilis'', the Fan Aloe, is a species of aloe endemic to a few mountains in the Fynbos ecoregion, of the Western Cape in South Africa.〔(Plantzafrica.com: ''Aloe plicatilis''(Fan Aloe) )〕 The plant has an unusual and striking fan-like arrangement of its leaves. It may grow as a large multistemmed shrub or, unusually for ''Aloe'' species, as a small tree. It is one of five species of tree-aloe indigenous to South Africa, and it is the only tree-aloe native to Fynbos habitats.
==Name and taxonomy==
''Aloe plicatilis'' derives its common name Fan Aloe, from the unusual distichous arrangement of its linear leaves. Its scientific name ''plicatilis'' also means "folded" or "pleated", or possibly "foldable";〔Jackson, Benjamin, Daydon; A Glossary of Botanic Terms with their Derivation and Accent; Published by Gerald Duckworth & Co. London, 4th ed 1928〕 it is in any case a misnomer because the leaves are nothing like plicate and do not fold.
In the local Afrikaans language, ''Aloe plicatilis'' is commonly known as the ''Waaier Aalwyn'' (= 'Fan Aloe'). It also is called the ''Kaapse Kokerboom'' (= 'Cape Quivertree') because of its resemblance to Aloe dichotoma. The resemblance lies mainly in its dichotomous branching habit, as it usually grows stems too short to be of much use for making quivers.
''Aloe plicatilis'' presents an unusual combination of features among Aloes (arborescent, with trunk branched dichotomously at short intervals, distichous leaves in the mature plant, straight perianth with the inner segments free) so taxonomists have in the past assign it to its own separate sub-genus ''Kumara'' within the genus Aloe.〔Reynolds, G.W. 1950. ''The Aloes of Southern Africa.'' Balkema, Cape Town. Pg 502-505.〕〔http://plants.jstor.org/flora/floc015830〕〔Baker, J. G. Flora Capensis, page 253 (1897)〕
