Aloe rauhii
Snowflake Aloe
This aloe originates in southwestern Madagascar; it does not grow naturally anywhere else. Identification: Plants are less than 6" (15 cm) high, except for a tall flowering spike up to 3' (1 m) high. Leaf rosettes are about 5" (12 cm) in diameter. Leaves have characteristic elongated white oval spots which are the source of the common name ”snowflake aloe.” Green and white leaves become a purplish orange color in full sunlight.
