The dune aloe is a tall, fast-growing, un-branched aloe, which develops a very large rosette. The long, pale, grey-green leaves are deeply grooved or channeled (U-shaped in cross-section) and recurve downwards.

The orange and yellow flowers grow in short, compact, cylindrical racemes, on multi-branched inflorescences.[2]


Distribution


These plants are naturally found in dune vegetation along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape of South Africa.[3]
