Aloe dolomitica

Aloe dolomitica was described by Groenewald from the northern provinces of South Africa. Many treatments now sink it into a related grassland aloe. GBIF holds no usable wild records under this name, so this profile is built from the genus and its summer-rainfall highveld habitat and should be read as a rough guide.

Where it grows wild

Assumed to be a single-stemmed aloe of rocky grassland and bushveld, as the name suggests, on dolomite outcrops. Species-specific habitat notes were not found.

Unknown; the summer-rainfall highveld and escarpment where such aloes grow is roughly 1000-1800 m.
