Aloe viridiflora is a stemless, rosette-forming succulent from Namibia, known as the only aloe with green flowers. It is a rare, protected plant in the wild and is grown mainly by collectors, so it should not be dug from natural habitats.
Aloe viridiflora is a species of plant in the genus Aloe. The species is endemic to Namibia. It has a wide range (the extent of occurrence is greater than 20,000 km2) and is known from at least six different populations. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, and rocky areas. Current trends are not known and the species is listed as LC (least concern) on the IUCN Red List. However, it is scarce and Namibian authorities consider it threatened; the plant must not be removed or disturbed. It can produce hallucinations when ingested, leading to its occasional use in shamanic rituals.
