ALOE
Aloe is any of about 200 species and hybrids of perennial succulent PLANTS that belong to the lily family, Liliaceae. They are used as landscape plants in dry, frost-free areas and are sometimes grown as houseplants. Their leaves are fleshy, stiff, and spiny along the edges and are often crowded together into a rosette. The flowers, which are mostly reddish, are produced on showy spikes that may extend 6 m (20 ft) above the ground; some species produce yellow, orange, or whitish-green flowers. Water-aloe is sometimes designated Stratiotes aloides, or the water soldier. Juice from the leaves is used to treat burns. The plant is also a source of a purgative drug.
