Aloe mutabilis Pillans |
Aloe mutabilis, commonly known as the blue krantz aloe is a species of aloe endemic to northern South Africa. [2]
The blue krantz aloe is found from the Strydpoort Mountains near Polokwane in Limpopo down to krantzes surrounding Johannesburg in Gauteng. [3]
The blue krantz aloe is often found on steep, rocky cliff faces with its stems hanging down. [3]
As of 2019, it has been assessed as Least Concern by SANBI due to its widespread range and its preferred and isolated habitat of steep cliffs. [3]
