Aloe amudatensis

Aloe amudatensis is a small East African aloe named after Amudat in north-eastern Uganda, described by Reynolds in 1956. It grows around 1,200–1,700 m in hot, sunny, semi-arid country with two short rainy seasons, so it wants strong light, warm days and a gritty mix that dries quickly.

Where it grows wild

Records come from the dry bushland and rocky ground of the Karamoja and West Pokot region. Species-level habitat notes were not reachable, so this follows the area's typical aloe habitat.

Recorded at 1,219–1,722 m, median about 1,645 m (18 records).
