Aloe wildii is a species of aloe. Unlike many members of its genus, this species has linear leaves. It is native to a small area in south-east Africa and, like other succulent plants, it is resistant to drought. It bears attractive bright orange-red blossoms.[1]

Distribution

It is quite strictly confined to west facing (leeward) slopes over a 100 km stretch of mountainous terrain between Cashel and Chipinga in southern Manicaland, Zimbabwe.
