Obs. This is the least-leaved of all the Aloes ; the 
leaves are at the same time the thinnest, the most 
numerous, arfd most crowded.

* spiralis. Aloe foliis spiraliter quinquefariis patentibus glabris 
7 viridibus; subtus obsolete maculatis, caule valde 
tortuoso. 
Obs. This species has not yet been in any collection 
but my own: it is very much like A. pentagona, but 
somewhat larger: the plant is so much twisted as to 
make the position of the leaves seem multifarious: 
in pentagona they are usually in five regular angles. 
* expansa.
