Photo of X Gasteraloe (X Gasteraloe batesiana x aristata)

This is my Aloe aristata X Gasteria species... this plant grows MUCH faster than A aristata, suckers profusely (which A aristata does not), has NO whispy hairs on the ends of its leaves (which A aristata always does), and this plant flowers much differently (looks like typical AloeXGasteria flowers... even makes bulbils on the flower stalks). And gets about twice the size of Aloe aristata. A aristata is normally a small, globoid to flatly oriented plant, not upright like the one in your photo.
