Aloe perfoliata 'Fang', is a very special cultivar of Aloe perfoliata, the Mitre Aloe with extra tooth-like protuberances on its foliage, both on the leaf-margins and occasionally from the surface of the leaf itself. Often these 'Fangs' are double-toothed giving the plant a distinctively jaw-like appearance, somewhat reminiscent of the teeth of a crocodile.

 Highly recommended. Rarely seen. Limited availability.
