Aloe bukobana

An aloe named by Reynolds after Bukoba in northwestern Tanzania, recorded around Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda at 1100–2000 m. It comes from a mild, humid, bimodal-rain climate with only a short dry season, so it tolerates more water than most aloes but still needs sharp drainage.
