Aloe barbadensis is more commonly known as Aloe vera, an older name. It's also known as Medicinal Aloe because its juices are used to treat burns, among other things, and plants are often kept on kitchen windowsills for that purpose. The plant is so common that it hardly needs a description, but in case you've just arrived here from Mars, it forms a rosette of long, pointed, thickly succulent leaves that take on a greygreen tone. The leaves are punctutuated by soft spines. Grows to about 2'. Needs a frost-free climate or to be grown as a houseplant in good light. Though mainly grown as a foliage or medicinal plant, the flower, shown above, is fairly dramatic.
