The leaves are 50-70 cm long, pendulous, with very tiny teeth only at the base of the leaves. Leaves are asymmetrical. Spotted at the base and sheaths.
-
The older stems snake down from the almost vertical cliffs in this cool, humid and shady habitat.
-
-
-
Multi-stemmed at the base (where it roots in the tiny pockets of substrate, with grasses and mosses), but with un-branched very long pendulous stems, up to almost 2 meters long. Inflorescences emerge laterally from the leaves. Fire never touches this habitat as can be seen from the several generations of old inflorescence-rests along the leafy part of the stem.

Aloe polyphyllaSpiral aloe. From the high Maluti Mountains of Lesotho where it sometimes sees snow. Harvesting for specimen plants have devastated wild populations. The fact that the plant does not sucker but depends on seeds for propagation contributes to its rarity in the wild. Photographed at University of California Botanical Garden, Berkeley, CA.
