Aloe alaotrensis

Aloe alaotrensis is a Malagasy aloe described by J.-P. Castillon in 2017, named for the Lake Alaotra region of east-central Madagascar. Very little is published on it and there is a single wild record, so treat these as sun-loving, gritty-soil aloe conditions with a mild, drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Habitat details were not reachable. Aloes of the Alaotra area typically grow on rocky outcrops or thin soil in open grassland, so full sun and sharp drainage are assumed.

The one record is at about 800 m on the plateau near Lake Alaotra.
