Here's a book that lists various other options :

Yes, I've already got this book - it's very good.
Going back to my aloe vera - it looks nothing like the one in this book
which has broad "leaves" growing at 90 deg. to each other. Mine has very
thin spikes growing at 180 deg. It was labelled as an aloe vera! But none of
the pictures I see ever resemble it!


In that case it probably isn't an aloe vera! There are a lot of
different species of aloe - I have 5 different ones sitting out on my
terrace atm.
