Aloe congdonii

A Tanzanian aloe described by Susan Carter in Flora of Tropical East Africa (1994), recorded at 1500-2375 m in the highlands. Little is published beyond the description; conditions here come from the measured highland climate: mild, wet summers and a cooler, drier middle of the year.
