Aloe camperi
A clump-forming aloe from the highlands and escarpments of Eritrea and northern Ethiopia. It makes colonies of rosettes of glossy green, toothed leaves on short, often sprawling stems, and bears branched heads of orange to red flowers. It is tough and adaptable, and is grown widely in warm, dry gardens.
Where it grows wild
Specimen labels describe it on rocky slopes and outcrops, at the upper edge of escarpments, in valleys, and on alluvial sandy plains. It grows in colonies in open, sunny, rocky country.
Labelled wild records span about 550 m (Mescillit Pass) to 2,650 m (Kohaito Plateau), and most fall between 1,500 and 2,500 m on the Eritrean and Ethiopian highlands.
