This little member of the Aloaceae* family was given this name by Susan Carter in 1996. It is found in Zambia and maybe Tanzania, growing in a well drained soil or even grit with some water and lots of sun. The caudex can grow to five centimetres in diameter, the vines up to ten centimetres long. The inflorescence with the coral-pink flowers can reach 90 centimetres.  

The genera name is the ancient Greek and Latin name. The species name means 'fringed'.
