Dioscorides Aloe Vera
From Absit Omen Lexicon
Dioscorides Aloe Vera is a magical species of aloe vera from the Arabian Peninsula. It is an invasive plant and grows best in hot dry conditions. Dioscorides Aloe is difficult to cultivate in greenhouses as it is very aggressive, often using its flat, serrated leaves to attack even the most cautious Herbologist.
The gel of this plant is highly cooling and anti-inflammatory. It is often imported due to the difficulty of its cultivation in enclosed spaces.
The leaves of Dioscorides Aloe, if properly prepared, can be used by Healers for various anti-inflammatory and relaxing treatments.
