Create a new Treatment using this IngredientDescription: Aloe Vera or Indian Aloe is a species containing about four hundred variety of flowering tender plants. Aloe is native to Africa and is especially common in South Africa's Cape Province and also in the mountains of tropical Africa. Aloe Vera can also be found in the neighboring areas such as Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula and the islands off Africa. Most Aloe species have a rosette of big, broad, fleshy leaves. The leaves of the Aloe Vera plant are lance-shaped with a pointed tip and have a spiky edge. The Aloe Vera flowers are tubular, and are quite colorful. They can be of yellow, orange or red color in a dense bunch, on a branched leafless stems. Many species of Aloe are apparently stem less, with the rosette rising directly at ground level. The other varieties may have an un-branched or a branched stem from which the fleshy leaves spring. They can vary in color from somewhere near grey to a bright green. They can be sometimes striped or spotted as well. The APG II system (2003) placed the species in the family of Asphodelaceae. It should be noted that Aloe in the past has also been linked to the families of Aloaceae and Liliaceae. Members of the closely allied genus Gasteria, Haworthia and Kniphofia which have a parallel form of growth, are also commonly known as Aloes. Another fact worth noting is that the plant is sometimes called "American aloe" (Agave americana), as it belongs to Agavaceae, a different family.
