Gonialoe (the partridge aloes) is a small genus of three succulent plant species—Gonialoe dinteri, Gonialoe sladeniana and Gonialoe variegata—endemic to coastal South Africa, Namibia and Angola. They were formerly included within the larger, related genus Aloe.
==Taxonomy== The genus Aloe was found to be polyphyletic. It was accordingly divided into different genera: Aloe, Kumara, Aloiampelos, and Gonialoe, among others. Several recent phylogenetic studies have confirmed this division, and shown that Aloe actually consists of several relatively unrelated groups.
