Aloe analavelonensis

A Malagasy aloe described in 2012 by Letsara, Rakotoarisoa and Almeda and named for the Analavelona massif in south-western Madagascar. The GBIF records all come from that massif at 1055-1305 m, where the climate is warm with a long, almost rainless winter. Little else is published, so care here follows the measured climate and what suits other south-western Malagasy rock aloes.

Where it grows wild

Recorded only from the Analavelona massif, an isolated upland of forest and rocky grassland rising out of the dry south-west. Its exact microhabitat is not documented in the sources we could reach; like most aloes of the region it is most likely a plant of open rocky ground.

GBIF records span 1055-1305 m, median 1305 m.
