Aloe reitzii

Aloe reitzii, the Reitz aloe, is a rare and endangered Southern African aloe. Two varieties are recognized: var. reitzii which only grows in the Tonteldoos valley, between Roossenekal and Dullstroom in the wild and var. vernalis which is found in the northern part of KwaZulu-Natal. They are also thought to occur in Eswatini. The species is named after F.W. Reitz, the former president of the Orange Free State and state secretary of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek.
