How to identify an aloe barbadensis miller plant

[trilamt]

I just bought several aloe vera plants from different nurseries, can someone explains to me how to identify which plant is aloe barbadensis miller, please.

Aloe barbadensis miller = the common aloe vera.

The leaves are thick and fleshy, and range from green to grey-green. The margin of the leaf has small white teeth.



Can you also check out this thread on the forum about the relatives of aloe vera: post451.html

Cheers and hope to see you again around the forums

Thank you for having responded to my post. I have found that you are one of a most knowledable person about aloe vera and beyond that you are willing to share your thoughts to others. Hats off to you.

I would like to add a comment to your last posted and correct me if I am wrong. Aloe barbadensis miller has a stronger and distinctive smell compare to the rest of it's family.

You have mentioned in one of your post that Aloe arborescens lowers the blood glucose level, does barbadensis has the same effect?.

Yes, you're right! I did a bit of research for scientific studies online and made a new forum thread about it: aloe-vera-can-lower-glucose-level-t204.html
