Aloe amicorum

Aloe amicorum is a rare Kenyan aloe described by L.E. Newton in 1991. Only two wild records exist, both in the dry country of northern and central Kenya, so treat it as a sun-loving aloe from hot, semi-arid bushland.

Where it grows wild

Habitat notes were not reachable. The records fall in dry bushland, where aloes grow on rocky slopes and stony ground in full sun; that is assumed here.

The two records are at about 820 m and 1450 m.
