Aloe anodonta

Aloe anodonta is a Somali aloe described by McCoy and Lavranos in 2015; its name means 'toothless', presumably for leaf margins without teeth. Little is published beyond the description, and the one climate site is hot, arid lowland, so it should be grown hot, very bright and dry.

Where it grows wild

No habitat notes were reachable. Somali lowland aloes typically grow on rocky or gravelly ground in dry bushland; this is assumed here.

No record gives an elevation; the single climate site is at about 240 m.
