[mmcavall]

Hi all, please help me IDing these Aloes (?) for a friend:
Not sure whether the two plants are the same or not.

Sorry, I dont have better pictures.
Thanks for any guesses.

There are probably several similar looking Aloes, but how about Aloe maculata and Aloe jucunda as starting possibilities?

Thanks esp_ for your reply!

Aloe of this type (spotted toothed leaves in a rosette) are very hard to identify and there are lots of bastards, too! Further more they take different colour and appearance, depending from the light-intensity. I have one of this type myself. Fortunately it was reasonably simple to identify, because it's smaller than most similar plants and the leaves have a very smooth plastic-like surface: it is A. hemmingii

Hi Marcelo
Maybe Aloe saponaria, is more common in Brazil
