54 ALOACEAE Aloe trichosantha ssp. trichosantha Aloe trichosantha ssp. longiflora Aloe pubescens Description Habitat and distribution a. subsp. trichosantha This subspecies grows in open dry bush land between 900 and 1700 m in Tigray floristic region in Ethi opia and in Eritrea. It may also occur in the Sudan. The main flowering period is in the dry season, from February to May. b. subsp. longiflora Gilbert & Seb sebe The subspecific epithet ‘longi flora’ refers to the relatively long (longi) flowers (flo ra), at least compared to the other subspecies. It was described with the type ma terial collected west of Daletti in Harerge by Gilbert and Sebsebe in 1997. This subspecies is widespread in Ethiopia and grows abundantly in open deciduous bushland on volcanic rocks and alluvial soils between 1000 and 1950 m. It is not known anywhere else. The flowering period is almost through out the year, with records from August to May. 2. Aloe pubescens Reynolds The specific epithet ‘pubescens’ refers to the hairy inflorescence and flowers. It was described in 1957. The type material was collected near Shashamene in Shewa region and cultivated in Pretoria. This species belongs to a small group of Ethiopian/ Eritrean aloes (numbers 1–6) with pubescent or papillate flowers. It differs from its related species by its bracts, which are more than 5 mm wide. Rosettes stemless (in cultivation with stems to 30 cm long), usually suckering freely to form groups. Leaves c. 16, 35–45 × 6–13 cm, suberect with slightly recurved tips, grey green without markings (except in seedling plants). Marginal teeth 8–11 per 10 cm, 2–3.5 mm long, upper half reddish-brown. Inflorescence 0.7–1.5 m high with 1–2(–3) racemes. Racemes 20–35 cm long, cylindricalconical, dense (3–5 flowers per cm). Bracts ovate-triangular, 15–21 × 6–14 mm, acute. Pedicels 12–20 mm long. Perianth similar in form to that of Aloe trichosantha, 33–40 mm long, 4–5 mm wide when pressed, minutely pubescent, pink; outer lobes free for c. 12 mm. Capsule 21 × 7.5 mm, ellipsoidal. Seeds ± blackish, 3 angled/ winged, 5 mm long, wing 1.2 mm wide, densely dark veined. The species grows along rocky stream banks, often in areas with remnants of Po do carpus forest, and along field margins, from 1800 to 2550 m in Shewa and Ha-
Fig. 22.Aloe pubescens, from near Kobo, Harerge floristic region. Notes ALOE 55 rerge floristic regions. The main flowering period is in the dry season, from February to May. Plants from the Harerge floristic region that belong to the species have somewhat narrower bracts and shorter pedicels than the Shashamene ones, but intermediates are found from north of Butajira in Shewa region. Hence, no proper subdivision of the species can be made.
