Tenus Aloe, with its extraordinary variety of forms, habitats, and adaptations, represents one of the most fascinating and studied botanical groups within succulent plants. From the southern coast of Africa to the Arabian Peninsula, via the arid lands of Madagascar, these plants not only capture the attention of enthusiasts and collectors, but also constitute a fundamental field of research for understanding the evolution and diversity of xerophytic floras.
