Lomatophyllum Macrum
''Aloe'' sect. ''Lomatophyllum'' is a taxonomic section within the genus ''Aloe'', comprising between 12 and 18 closely related species of Aloe from Madagascar and the Mascareigne islands. These species are distinguished by their having fleshy berries of unwinged seeds (unlike the other ''Aloe'' species which bear dehiscent capsules of winged seeds). Description The Aloes of this section are all shrubby and form short stems, topped with succulent lanceolate leaves. The flowers appear in racemes and range in colour from orange or yellow to red. The plants produce fleshy berries which contain the seeds. Distribution The species of this section are all located on the islands of the Indian Ocean. Most are restricted to the island of Madagascar. A minority are indigenous to the smaller islands of Reunion, Mauritius, Rodrigues, Aldabra and Pemba. These form a clade that likely radiated from Madagascar following the roots of the major ocean currents. Most of the species of the small ...

Aloe Tormentorii
''Aloe tormentorii'' (previously ''Lomatophyllum tormentorii''. Locally known as the "Mazambron") is a species of ''Aloe'' endemic to the island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. It is one of only two ''Aloe''s to naturally occur in Mauritius - the other being the tall growing ''Aloe purpurea''. It is part of a group of aloes which bear fleshy berries, and were therefore classed as a separate group, "Lomatophyllum". Within this group, it is closely related to Madagascan ''Aloe occidentalis'' (which can be distinguished by having longer leaves, shorter inflorescence, and longer perianths, than ''Aloe tormentorii''). Description It has long straight erect or mildly curved lanceolate succulent leaves (60 cm x 15 cm), in a dense, right rosette. The leaves are a turquoise green and occasionally become a bronze colour and show a reddish margin when exposed to direct sun. Occasionally it can subdivide in offsets and older plants can even develop a thick decumbent stem. Us ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aloe Mayottensis
''Aloe mayottensis'' (previously ''Lomatophyllum mayottensis'') is a species of ''Aloe'' indigenous to the island of Mayotte and surrounding islands of the Comoros, in the Indian Ocean. Formerly more widespread, it is now rarely found outside of cultivation. It is part of a group of aloes which bear fleshy berries, and were therefore classed as a separate group, ''Lomatophyllum ''Aloe'' sect. ''Lomatophyllum'' is a taxonomic section within the genus ''Aloe'', comprising between 12 and 18 closely related species of Aloe from Madagascar and the Mascareigne islands.
