Aloe classenii

An aloe described by Reynolds in 1965 from Kenya, known in GBIF from a handful of records in the former Coast Province. Sources we could reach give no habitat detail, so conditions here come from the measured hot, humid, bimodal-rain climate at the record site and the genus. Treat it as a warm-growing aloe that never gets truly cold.

Where it grows wild

Not described in the sources we could reach; aloes of coastal Kenya typically grow on rocky ground in dry bushland.

Few records carry an elevation; the measured site is warm lowland.
