Which aloe?

[GDLWyverex]

Can someone tell me which Aloe this is?

 

The mother is about 50 cm wide and 30 cm tall. The majority of the leaves have no bumps on the inside of the leaf, only on the outside. There is one leaf with one bump on the inside of the leaf.

Thanks

Richard

Looks alot like Aloe nobilis to my eye, but could be a hybrid w/ nobilis in it. Leaves are too wide to be A. humilis, imo.

If I put it in the sun should it turn red if it's A. Nobilis?? If no red, maybe A. perfoliata; one of A. Nobilis' parents??

Thanks

Tough to say.. Have seen specimens labeled as regular ol' nobilis in full sun that were green. Possible they were miss labeled though. That said, hybrids could certainly exhibit variability = some exhibit more reddish tones in sun than others..

I'm reading that A. nobilis is a smallish species. The mother plant from which mine was removed has ONE rosette that measures about 50 cm wide and 30 cm tall which to my experience is quite large for an Aloe.. Many have clumps that reach and exeed those measurements, but this on is simply one rosette. Does that fit within the scope of A. nobilis. You are the second person that suggested A. Nobilis.

Thanks

As i mentioned, your offset, and the mother, could be a hybrid. Any pictures of the mom? ( if not either of the pics you took ) Size of the mother plant could be influenced by removal of any and all offsets as they form, allowing the main plant to attain such a size ..though 19" across does seem a little big for nobilis..  But, i guess it just depends what this is crossed with, if  a hybrid, and not a stand alone species.
