A tall Aloe pretoriensis inflorescence has charm although being slender and lanky, or maybe because of it. Flowering when the winter grass is dry, it adds contrasting colour that isn’t missed.
The five to eight branches of a typical raceme become 20 cm to 30 cm in length, about 10 cm in diameter. The individual flower or perianth is cylindrical to triangular, lacking a basal constriction. Its inner three segments have green tips.
Imbricate bracts are found among the individual flowers below each pedicel. The unopened perianths at the top of a young raceme are initially covered by these bracts (Reynolds, 1969).
