Several other species that resemble ''Aloe lateritia'' in forming groups by suckering and having branched inflorescence stalks also have medicinal uses.
=== ''Aloe asperifolia'' ===The Topnaar people in Namibia drink an infusion of the leaves of ''[[Aloe asperifolia]]'' A.Berger to treat arteriosclerosis, kidney problems, asthma, colds and epilepsy. A decoction is taken by humans and livestock to expel the placenta, and given to donkeys when they have eaten poisonous plants. The leaves are chewed or the decoction is drunk to treat stomach-ache and chest pains. The leaf exudate is added to drinking water of chickens to treat various diseases.
=== ''Aloe chabaudii'' ===
