Aloe deltoideodonta
A small, stemless aloe from Madagascar that forms clumps of rosettes under 30 cm tall. Its triangular, pale green leaves, 15–20 cm long, are often spotted or striped and edged with small white teeth. Salmon-to-orange flowers appear from late summer into autumn. Grow it like other Madagascan rock aloes: bright light, a gritty mix, and a drier, cooler winter.
Where it grows wild
Specific habitat notes were not found in the sources consulted. GBIF records come from the central highlands (Antananarivo, Fianarantsoa) and the south-west (Toliara). Like other small Madagascan aloes, it probably grows on rocky outcrops and in shallow soil pockets, in sun or light shade from rocks and scrub.
The 11 GBIF records with elevations span about 130–1,550 m, median 800 m.
