💡 Quick Reference
- Aloe vera is not native to Australia. Current Kew taxonomy places its native range in northern Oman, especially the Hajar Mountains.
- In Australian records, Aloe vera is introduced and naturalised in parts of WA, the NT and Queensland.
- No species in the Aloe genus is native to Australia; Australian Aloe records are introduced.
- Naturalised does not automatically mean invasive. Naturalised means an introduced plant can persist and reproduce outside cultivation; invasive impact is a separate, context-dependent assessment.
- Several familiar “Aloe” names are now placed in other genera by current Kew taxonomy, which is why older plant labels and modern botanical databases can differ.
- The database below is designed for sorting, filtering and quick identification, not as a replacement for state/territory weed or biosecurity databases.
