Aloe vera

Aloe vera is a stemless or very short-stemmed plant growing to 60–100 centimetres (24–39 inches) tall, spreading by offsets. The leaves are thick and fleshy, green to grey-green, with some varieties showing white flecks on their upper and lower stem surfaces.

The botanical name derives from Latin, aloe (also from Greek), having uncertain origin, and vera ("true") from Latin.
