Aloe variegata, also known as Tiger Aloe and Partridge-breasted Aloe, is a species of aloe indigenous to South Africa (Cape Provinces and Free State) and Namibia.
It grows to around 20-30 cm, with 18-24 leaves arranged in three ranks; each leaf is 10-15 cm long and 3-6 cm broad, irregularly banded alternately dark green and whitish, and with white toothed edges. The flowers are orange, arranged in a raceme of around 20-30 cm in height. Flowers are produced in March and April with offsets being readily formed.
