Wikipedia Abstract

Aloe ramosissima is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is endemic to the Richtersveld at the border between South Africa and Namibia, where it grows on desert slopes and in ravines. Its common name is maiden's quiver tree. Its habitat may be threatened by mining and overgrazing. It is similar to Aloe dichotoma, but bushier and shorter in stature, rarely exceeding 60 centimeters in height. It might not be a distinct species; it has been treated as a variety and a subspecies of A. dichotoma.
