aloe

Aloes vary in size from dwarf species, no more than a few centimetres in diameter (such as the popular houseplant Aloe variegata), to species as large as a small tree. In their natural habitat most aloes flower during winter.

One of a group of plants native to southern Africa, with long, fleshy, spiny-edged leaves. The drug usually referred to as ‘bitter aloes’ is a powerful purgative (agent that causes the body to expel impurities) prepared from the juice of the leaves of several of the species. (Genus Aloe, family Liliaceae.)
