Aloe jucunda takes its species name from the Latin world for "nice", "jacundus". It is a lovely aloe and is frequently kept as a houseplant. It is a stemless aloe that suckers freely and creates large groups of rosettes. Its miniature size, rosettes only 3 to 4 inches across make it a nice size for indoor collections. It has glossy dark green and brown leaves with numerous white spots and leaf margins with sharp teeth. The inflorescence is quite large compared to the tiny plant, almost 15 inches tall, unbranched and with about 20 pink lax flowers, quite showy. Aloe jacunda is native to a forested area in Somalia that is under pressure from logging and grazing, without care the forest may be eliminated along with this lovely aloe that lives there.
