The Aloe dichotoma x ramosissima belongs to Liliaceae (the Lily family). It is an evergreen perennial herb that is an interspecific hybrid of Aloe dichotoma and Aloe ramosissima, both native to South Africa and Namibia. It represents the best features of each of these two rare Aloe species. It has the blue-grey pointed sword-shaped leaves of Aloe dichotoma, plus the attractive multi-branching habit of Aloe ramosissima. In recent years, aloe, which becomes tree-like, has separated from the genus Aloe and become the genus Aloidendron.
