What's the difference between reed and aloe?

Morphological characteristics of reed;

Perennial aquatic or wet tall grass with developed rhizomes. The culm is erect, the basal and upper internodes are short, and the lower internodes of leaf sheaths are shorter than the upper internodes and longer than their internodes. The leaves are needle-shaped, linear, with long tips and tapering into filaments. Panicle is large, bearing closely pendulous spikelets; The tip is long and tapering, the basal disc is elongated, and both sides are densely covered with filamentary hairs equal to the lemma, and there is an obvious joint at the joint with the hairless spikelet axis, which is easy to fall off from the joint when it matures.

Morphological characteristics of aloe;

Aloe vera is an evergreen and juicy herb. The stem is short, the leaves are clustered or slightly in two rows (young plants), thick and juicy, strip-lanceolate, pink-green,15-35cm long, 4-5cm wide at the base, with several small teeth at the top and sparse spiny teeth at the edge.

Scape 60-90 cm tall, unbranched or sometimes slightly branched; Racemes with dozens of flowers; Bracts nearly lanceolate, apex acute; Flowers drooping, sparsely arranged, yellowish with erythema; Perianth is about 2.5 cm long, and the top of sepals is slightly bent outward; Stamens are as long as or slightly longer than perianth, and the style obviously extends out of perianth.

Aloe leaves are clustered in a seat shape or are born at the top of the stem. The leaves are often lanceolate or short and wide, with sharp teeth at the edge. Inflorescences are umbrella-shaped, racemose, spike-shaped, conical, etc. Red, yellow or with red spots, six petals and six stamens, and the base of perianth is connected into a tube.

Aloe vera grows in tropical or subtropical areas, with thick and juicy leaves, smooth and oily leaves, clustered on short stems, seated or born at the top of stems, often lanceolate or short and wide, with barbed teeth or no markings at the edge, green all year round, often not solid, giving people a sense of simplicity. It has always had the reputation of "magic plant" and "family medicine box", and it is an all-round plant integrating ornamental, edible, medicinal and beauty.
