Gasteraloe beguinii

![]()
Gasteraloe beguinii (often called the Lizard Tail or Gonzo Aloe) is a fascinating intergeneric hybrid between Gasteria aristata and Aloe variegata. It forms a dense, symmetrical rosette of triangular, deep-green leaves. The foliage is tough and textured, covered in white raised spots (tubercles) and edged with small, harmless "teeth" that give it its reptilian nickname.![]()
As a hybrid, this plant was developed in cultivation to capture the extreme hardiness of Gasteria and the structural beauty of Aloe. Its parent species are both native to South Africa, specifically the arid scrublands where they have adapted to survive on very little water. ![]()
The blooms of the Lizard Tail are a highlight of the spring season. It produces tall, slender racemes featuring tubular, bi-colored flowers—usually a vibrant coral-pink or orange at the base with a greenish tip. The flowers have the characteristic "stomach" shape inherited from its Gasteria parent, making them a favorite for hummingbirds in outdoor settings.
