The dense clump of ground-level leaf rosettes of Aloe succotrina is a feature of this plant in all seasons, the blooms adding their annual enhancement. The narrow leaves point up, particularly in the central part of the clump.
The typical single raceme inflorescences of A. succotrina do not predominate on this plant. Branching into two-raceme panicles may be more likely when the conditions in the garden are favourable as here (Reynolds, 1974; Jeppe, 1969).
