Aloe glauca and Aloe lineata in South Africa

This blog is for the pleasure to see some photos.   This blog's entries click here
A few Aloe glauca and Aloe lineata in South Africa from different regions
It seems that there are talks that Aloe glauca and Aloe lineata should be in one genus.
Aloe glauca vary a lot depending the area where it occurs and the same goes for Aloe lineata.
There are a lot of similarities, but I do not have the education to take part in that debate.
I am not trying to solve the problem. These photos and data is just for the person who might be interested in these aloes
