Abstract

Summary: An overview of the conservation status of the genus Aloe L. (Asphodelaceae) in Zimbabwe is presented. Currently, fifteen Aloe taxa are threatened and near-threatened with extinction in Zimbabwe. There is great horticultural interest in the genus and there is evidence that Aloe taxa have been collected from the wild and used for this purpose. Other major threats to their conservation include agriculture, urbanisation, bush fires, habitat fragmentation and loss. Information about the habitat, conservation status and distribution maps of threatened and near-threatened Aloe taxa is presented.
