Aloe peglerae

Aloe peglerae, known as the Magaliesberg aloe or fez aloe, is a plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is endemic to South Africa, found only in Gauteng and North West Province on the northern dip slopes of the Magaliesberg and Witwatersberg. It is a stemless succulent 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter and height, with glaucous leaves strongly incurved into a compact spherical rosette, and it produces a single cylindrical flowering spike 30 to 40 centimeters tall, occasionally forked, with deep purple filaments visible in its flowers during July and August. The IUCN lists the species as Endangered and it carries CITES Appendix II protection, while the Red List of South African Plants classifies it as critically endangered, citing habitat destruction and illegal collecting and a documented 43 percent population decline over ten years.
