Aloe mayottensis |
Aloe mayottensis (previously Lomatophyllum mayottensis) is a species of Aloe indigenous to the island of Mayotte and surrounding islands of the Comoros, in the Indian Ocean. Formerly more widespread, it is now rarely found outside of cultivation. [1]
It is part of a group of aloes which bear fleshy berries, and were therefore classed as a separate group, Lomatophyllum. Within this group, it is a relatively distinctive and easily recognisable species.
It branches from base and stem, with stems up to 50 cm (20 in) long. Its leaves are a green with pale yellow brown margins and teeth. Its multi-branched inflorescence bears flowers in racemes, and its seeds develop in fleshy berries. [2] [3]
