The Quiver tree (Aloe dichotoma) is a species of aloe indigenous to Southern Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region, and Namibia. It derives its common name from the indigenous San practice of hollowing out its tubular branches to form quivers for arrows. One of the few examples of spontaneous forests of A. dichotoma is the Quiver Tree Forest, located north of Keetmanshoop, Namibia.Photo: Le Grand Portage
