''Aloe striata'' (the Coral Aloe) is a small, stemless South African Aloe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Aloe striata'' Haw. subsp. ''striata'' Haw. (ALOACEAE ) )〕〔(Aloe striata - Info page at Plantzafrica )〕 ==Description== The Coral Aloe's species name, ''"striata"'', means "stripes", and refers to the long lines (sometimes very faint) on its blue-green leaves. The leaves of this Aloe are not toothed, but have a smooth pink margin. Due to the similarity of their species names, ''A. striata'' is sometimes confused in literature with ''A. striatula'' (the Hardy Aloe) - a very different plant, found in the highlands of the Eastern Cape. This species is often confused with its close relative, ''Aloe reynoldsii'', and they do look very similar. However the Coral Aloe has smooth leaf margins and red flowers; while ''Aloe reynoldsii'' has waxy, toothed leaf margins and yellow flowers.〔http://www.succulents.co.za/aloes/stemless-aloes/aloe-reynoldsii.php〕〔Reynolds, G.W. 1950. ''The aloes of Southern Africa.'' Balkema, Cape Town.〕 ==Distribution== This species occurs quite widely over the southern parts of the Cape, South Africa. Here it is found on rocky slopes in coastal or karoo areas. It can tolerate a degree of aridity, and prefers full sun and very well-drained soils. 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 striata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
