Aloeae is a tribe of succulent plants in the subfamily Asphodeloideae of the family Asphodelaceae, consisting of the aloes and their close relatives.The taxon may also be treated as the subfamily Alooideae by those botanists who retain the narrower circumscription of Asphodelaceae adopted prior to the APG III system.
Aloidendron barberae, formerly Aloe bainesii and Aloe barberae, also known as the tree aloe, is a species of succulent plant in the genus Aloidendron. It is native to South Africa northwards to Mozambique. In its native climes this slow-growing tree can reach up to 60 feet (18 m) high and 36 inches (0.91 m) in stem diameter.

[5] For people with allergies to Aloe vera, skin reactions may include contact dermatitis with mild redness and itching, difficulty with breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Aloe vera is used both internally and externally on humans as folk or alternative medicine. [17] The Aloe species is known for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. [18] Around 75% of Aloe species are used locally for medicinal uses. [18] The plants can also be made into types of special soaps or used in other skin care products (see natural ...
Several genera, notably Aloe, Asphodelus, Gasteria, Haworthia and Kniphofia are perhaps the best known of the family due to their use among plant collectors, botanists and horticulturists. Additional genera and hybrids are also known, including Aristaloe , Gasteraloe and Gonialoe (the latter formerly included the now-rehomed Aloe variegata , or ...
The following phylogenetic tree for Asphodelaceae sensu lato is based on a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the DNA sequences of the chloroplast genes rbcL, matK, and ndhF. [9] All branches have at least 70% bootstrap support. Of the 36 genera recognized by the authors, 29 were sampled.
Phylogenetic studies indicated that several species that were traditionally classed as members of the genus Aloe were genetically distinct and comprised an entirely separate clade. In 2013, the species were accordingly split off as a separate genus, Aloidendron , a decision that was confirmed by Manning et al. in 2014.
