Rhodesia Philately: Aloe chabaudii

Aloe chabaudii is a species native to Southern Africa.  It usually grows on bare rock on granitic domes or in shallow soil pockets, often in dense colonies.

Aloe chabaudii is a succulent plant that forms stemless or short-stemmed rosettes of grey-green to glaucous green leaves, often flushed with pinkish-red and sometimes with few spots on the upper surface. Flowers are tubular bright coral-pink or sometimes pale orange to yellow.
