Aloe buchananii
A grass aloe from the uplands of southern and central Malawi, described by Baker in 1895 and recorded at 1000–1940 m. It grows through a hot wet summer and a long dry, cool winter; grass aloes of this kind typically die back or go dormant in the dry season, so a dry winter rest is important.
