Photo does not match other photos of this species on the web

Other sources indicate that Aloe helenae is arborescent and has a dense spike inflorescence on a short stalk. This article's photo shows a long inflorescence with a keiki, or plantlet, at it end. The inflorescence of the type shown in the photo typically is a branched, open pattern with multiple divisions and subdivisions, while the spike-type inflorescence of A. helenae is unlikely to produce such a long stalk with keiki. Also, the type shown in the photo appears to be a basal rosette, clumping type--not arborescent, as is A. helenae.pechaney (talk) 02:43, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

@Pechaney: nor does the photo agree with the original description here, which says that it is 1–4 m high with leaves up to 1.5 m long. The original description says "les fleurs de l'A. Helenae son disposées en épis simples non rameux" (the flowers of A. helenae are arranged in simple non branching spikes). Peter coxhead (talk) 21:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
