Aloe braamvanwykii

A South African aloe described by Smith and Figueiredo in 2012 and named for the botanist Braam van Wyk. Kew places it in the Northern Provinces; there are no usable wild GBIF records, so the climate below comes from a single site in the summer-rainfall bushveld west of Pretoria. Grow it as a summer-rainfall aloe: hot wet summers in full sun, then a cool, dry winter.
