Variegation marginal, white, somewhat rosy tinted in youth. 



, Introduced from India trough Kew in 1892, 



and now one of the commonest and most 

 decorative variegated succulents in tropical 

 gardens. The green type is the riviimra of 

 Wight but not of Linnaeus or Lamarck. 

 It is evidently A. Jacquhiiana as based on 

 Jacquin's A. lurida, and traditions connect 

 it with the otherwise lost angustifolia of Ha- 

 worth wich itself is the narrow ieaved Vera 

 Cruz aloe of Commelyn, — that curiously 

 disappears from Miller's compilations when 

 he describes his own entire-leaved A. rigida 

 that otherwise would seem to be its earliest

Variegation median, in shades of creamy yellow. 



A large specimen was owned by Van der V innen, which 

 passed into the possession of J. Verschaffeit who seems to 

 have propagated other individuais from it, but it has never become 

 common in coliections. It flowered in England in IQOO, but appa- 

 rently did not seed.
