Taxonomy and history

Aloe divaricata was described in 1905 by German botanist Alwin Berger based on a type specimen collected from Mahajanga. [3] [8] The specific epithet divaricata is derived from the Latin word divaricate, meaning "spreading", in reference to the species' branched inflorescence. [9]

Three subspecies and one variety are recognised: [3] [8]

Distribution and habitat

Aloe divaricata is the most widely distributed endemic Aloe of Madagascar, occurring in the former Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga, and Toliara provinces. It grows on lateritic soils in arid plains, dry spiny forests, limestone plateaus, and sandy coastal forests. It can be found from sea level up to 800 m (2,600 ft) above sea level. [1]
