Aloe pretoriensis, is a species of Aloe found discontinuously in northern South Africa, eastern Zimbabwe and eastern Eswatini.[1] It occurs in rocky grassland at generally higher altitudes. It is not threatened, but human-induced declines have occurred in the Bankenveld region of Gauteng.[2] It flowers in winter and is pollinated by insects and birds. The pointy flowers are carried on elongated racemes on a decidedly tall and branched peduncle.[3] They have a tight rosette of erect, pale green leaves, which are quite thin compared to other Aloe species.[4] Drying leaf tips turn reddish.left|thumb|The characteristic tight rosette of thin leaves seen in a cultivated plant.
