Its caudex throws out the longeft fcape of any of the genus known to us, and is generally covered with dried and often perfiftent leaves below the upper fafcicle; when thefe fall or are plucked off it has a feamed and jointed appearance; from beneath the upper leaves long fimple fibres are generally protruded.

This species, formerly known in our gardens by the name of "The Onion-Leaved Aloe," is a native of the Cape of Good Hope; was cultivated in Chelfea Garden as long since as 1702; is now very common in our greenhouses, where it requires the treatment of the common Cape Aloes.
Its caudex throws out the longest fcape of any of the genus known to us, and is generally covered with dried and often perfiftent leaves below the upper fafcicle; when these fall or are plucked off it has a feamed and jointed appearance; from beneath the upper leaves long simple fibres are generally protruded.
Often ripens the seed; the fruitless pedicles are as in some other species very much incurved or hooked.
