Aloe hereroensis is an African Aloe native to Angola, Namibia and South Africa.[4] Like other Aloe species, it forms a rosette of succulent, lanceolate, greyish-green leaves with teeth along their edges. These leaves can grow up to 40 centimetres (16 inches) long. A. hereroensis forms large inflorescences, up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) high, with clusters of scarlet flowers.[3]
