Aloe globuligemma
A clump-forming bushveld aloe from Limpopo, Mpumalanga, eastern Botswana and southern Zimbabwe. Its name refers to its round flower buds. It grows in large colonies on bare or sparsely grassed, often eroded ground in hot, dry bushland and open deciduous woodland. Grow it hot, in full sun and very sharp drainage, with a dry winter.
Where it grows wild
It forms large, dense clumps from creeping stems up to about 50 cm long. Each rosette carries about 20 lance-shaped leaves 45-50 cm long. It grows in large colonies in bare or sparsely grassed places, often on eroded ground, in open deciduous woodland and hot, dry bushland. This is savanna country with little overhead cover.
The literature gives 600-1325 m. Few GBIF records carry an elevation, but the recorded points fall across the Limpopo bushveld and lowveld and the southern Zimbabwe plateau, which sit in about that band.
