Aloidendron ramosissimum
Also called Maiden Quiver Tree, Maiden's Quivertree Aloe, Bush Quiver Tree, Very Much Branched Aloe
Aloidendron ramosissimum (formerly Aloe ramosissima), or the maiden's quiver tree, is a species of endangered succulent flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae (order Asparagales) found in southern Africa.
A. ramosissimum is endemic to the Richtersveld, at the border between northwestern South Africa and southern Namibia, where it grows on desert slopes and in ravines, as well as some open, flat areas. In Namibia, it is known from the southern inland Ilkaras (Karas) Region, north of the border with South Africa. Its range continues into the Northern Cape province, having been observed as far south as Springbok.
