Aloe inyangensis

A small, clumping mountain aloe from the Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe, with thin, strap-like, forward-bent leaves and crimson flowers on curved stalks at almost any time of year. It grows above 1500 m in shaded woodland and wet forest, so it wants a cooler, more humid and shadier life than most aloes.
