Aloe wildii is a species of aloe, a succulent plant that is resistant to drought as other succulents are. Unlike many members of its genus it has linear leaves, and it bears attractive bright orange-red blossoms. It is native to only a small area of south-east Africa. Within that area it is quite strictly confined to west facing, leeward slopes along a stretch of mountainous terrain about 100 km long, running between Cashel and Chipinga in southern Manicaland, Zimbabwe. Its narrow range and its linear foliage are the features that most clearly set it apart from many other aloes.
