Abstract

The only recorded exotic species to become naturalized in South Africa is Aloe camperi Schweinf. It is well known that Aloe arborescens Mill. can become naturalized in Mediterranean areas outside of southern Africa. Here we report on a South African aloe, Aloe spectabilis Reynolds that has become naturalized in the country outside of its natural distribution range.
Die einzige in Südafrika verwilderte exotische Art der Gattung ist Aloe camperi Schweinf. Darüberhinaus ist gut bekannt, dass ausserhalb des südlichen Afrikas Aloe arborescens Mill. im Mittelmeergebiet eingebürgert ist. Hier stellen wir eine südafrikanische Aloe vor, nämlich Aloe spectabilis Reynolds, welche innerhalb des Landes aber ausserhalb ihres natürlichen Vorkommens, verwildert ist.
