Aloe hybrid created in 1998 by van der Meer and van der Meer, crossing Gonialoe variegata (then known as Aloe variegata) with a second aloe said to be the same species, but having hybrid features that were passed on to the offspring "Tiki Tahi". The key differences between this named cultivar and the species Gonialoe variegata are the shape of its leaves, which are flatter and lack a pronounced V shape in cross section, and the presence of much more pronounced and numerous marginal teeth, described in the patent as serrate on the pollen parent with presumed hybrid character.
