Aloe aristata, also known as Torch Plant and Lace Aloe, is a species of aloe indigenous to South Africa and surrounding countries. It is stemless, sawtoothed and succulent. Its nectar-rich flowers tend to attract birds, bees, and wasps easily.
When not in bloom, it is similar to and often confused with Haworthia fasciata.
