|discussion=<p>The leaves of <i>Aloina brevirostris</i> are usually short, and cucullate with a reduced lamina; forms with larger laminae may be confused with <i>A. rigida</i>, but the synoicous condition and the cylindric capsules with a conical operculum are diagnostic. The latter species is dioicous, and has ovoid-cylindrical capsules with a long-rostrate operculum.</p>
