Aloe belavenokensis

A clumping aloe from near the village of Belavenoka in south-eastern Madagascar, with long strap-like leaves edged in soft teeth and pink flowers. It was formerly placed in Lomatophyllum, the group of Madagascan aloes with berry-like fruits, which mostly grow in humid, partly shaded places. Grow it warm, in bright but not scorching light, with more regular water than a desert aloe.

Where it grows wild

Very little habitat detail is published. The known collections are from the Tolagnaro (Fort Dauphin) area near sea level, a humid coastal region of forest, thicket and rocky ground. Lomatophyllum-type aloes generally grow in forest margins and thickets with some shade.

A herbarium specimen from Fort Dauphin is recorded at 10–25 m, so it is a lowland plant. Not measured by our pipeline.
