Not far from here I encountered a large colony of vibrant Perry’s Aloe (Aloe perryi) without a single inflorescence. Here an equally vibrant, albeit smaller colony, is in full swing of producing inflorescences – with branches!
This is typical of Socotra, where very local conditions manifest very different stages in growth, flowering and fruiting.
It is endemic to Socotra.
