Aloe perryi is a species of plant in the genus Aloe. It is endemic to the island of Socotra in Yemen,[2] and may be known by the common name, Socotrine aloe.[3]
Description
A variable species, usually a blue-green colour but sometimes reddish, especially in exposed positions. The inflorescence is branched, and the flowers reddish orange with yellow tips.[citation needed]
Distribution and habitat
Its natural habitat is rocky areas. Widely distributed and in places abundant, it is one of a number of Aloe species that naturally occur on the island of Socotra, others including Aloe jawiyon[4] and Aloe squarrosa.[5] Bitter aloes – the juice of Aloe perryi – has important pharmaceutical and medicinal properties. At present, it is under no immediate threat but some populations are potentially vulnerable to pests, climate change and over-harvesting.
