Aloe ferox, commonly known as bitter aloe, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae. This woody aloe is indigenous to southern Africa.[2][3] It is one of several Aloe species used to make bitter aloes, a purgative medication,[4] and also yields a non-bitter gel that can be used in cosmetics.[5]
