Aloe succotrina laden with fruit

The green fruit capsules of Aloe succotrina are still partly covered in the withered remains of some perianths and even stamens on this plant that was photographed early in September in Hermanus. Each ovoid green fruit comprising three vertical sections is held erect by long pedicels, already turning yellow and orange here. The blooming season for the species sometimes continues through September, but this early raceme is well past that stage.

The characteristic white marginal teeth of A. succotrina leaves can be observed on the leaves in picture (Frandsen, 2017; Smith, et al, 2017; Manning, 2007; Van Wyk and Gericke, 2007; Van Wyk and Smith, 2003; Reynolds, 1974; Jeppe, 1969; iNaturalist).
