''Aloe tormentorii'' (previously ''Lomatophyllum tormentorii''. Locally known as the "Mazambron") is a critically endangered species of ''Aloe'' endemic to the island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. It is part of a group of aloes which bear fleshy berries, and were therefore classed as a separate group, "Lomatophyllum". ==Description== It has long straight or mildly curved lanceolate succulent leaves, which are a turquoise green and occasionally show a reddish margin. Its inflorescence is usually multi-branched with orange-reddish, green-tipped flowers and, unusually for aloes, it bears fleshy berries as its fruits. Its berries are eaten by the endemic lizard species Telfair’s skink which distributes the aloe's seeds. Occasionally it can subdivide in offsets and older plants can even develop a thick decumbent stem. Usually however it is short and solitary. 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 tormentorii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
