''Aloe pearsonii'' ("Pearson's Aloe") is very distinctive and unusual species of Aloe, that is naturally endemic to the arid Richtersveld area, on the border between South Africa and Namibia. ==Naming and classification== ''Aloe pearsonii'' is often considered part of a group of southern African "Creeping Aloes" (''Mitriformes'')〔Reynolds, G.W. 1950. ''The Aloes of Southern Africa.'' Balkema, Cape Town.〕 together with closely related species ''Aloe perfoliata'', ''Aloe arenicola'', ''Aloe meyeri'' and ''Aloe dabenorisana''. However, other botanists believe it to be closer to the "Climbing Aloes" (''Macrifoliae''). This unusual plant would be an outlier whichever series it was classified into, and is probably a "missing-link" intermediate between the two series. 〔Van Wyk, B-E. & Smith, G.F. 1996. ''Guide to aloes of South Africa.'' Briza Publications, Pretoria〕 The name ''"pearsonii"'' remembers the botanist and first director of the South African National Botanical Institute, Professor Pearson.〔http://www.succulents.co.za/aloes/creeping-aloes/index.php〕 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 pearsonii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
