1774 F. Masson Jrnl. 2 Nov. in Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) (1776) 66 309 We found a new species of aloe here, called by the Dutch Koker Boom, of which the Hottentots make quivers to hold their arrows.

1812 W. J. Burchell Jrnl. 14 May in Trav. Interior S. Afr. (1824) II. vii. 199 The natives more towards the western coast, frequently use the branches of the Aloë dichotoma, which is therefore called by the Hottentots and Colonists, kokerboom or quiver tree.

1920 F. C. Cornell Glamour of Prospecting 116 We outspanned about sunset on an open plateau covered with vegetation and studded with many of the queer looking aloes known as koker boomen, or ‘quiver trees’.

1950 Cape Argus 5 Aug. 7/5 As you drive northwards through the mountains to Springbok you may see that weird tree-aloe, the kokerboom, flowering beside the road.

1959 J. D. Clark Prehist. Southern Afr. ix. 226 The arrows were usually kept in a quiver made from leather..or bark, in particular the bark of the ‘Kokerboom’ tree which is a species of aloe.

1974 Eastern Province Herald (Port Elizabeth) 28 Jan. 11 Those who lived in houses built of Kokerboom trunks stood back and watched as..the flames leapt and crackled through the wooden structures.
