The aloe is a perennial plant; the strong, fibrous root produces a rosette of fleshy basal leaves as in the agave but considerably smaller. Leaves: narrow-lanceolate,1-2 feet long and whitish-green on both sides, and they bear spiny teeth on the margins. Flower: The yellow to purplish, drooping flowers, which are evident most of the year, grow in a long raceme at the top of a flower stalk up to 4 1/2 feet high.
