Aloe hemmingii

A small aloe endemic to Somalia, listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN. Almost nothing about its habitat is published online, and there are no wild GBIF records, so the conditions below come from one climate point in central Somalia and general knowledge of Horn of Africa aloes. Treat it as a hot, dry-country plant with two short rainy seasons.
