Aloe mayottensis
Mayotte Aloe is a succulent perennial from the island of Mayotte and nearby Comoros, now rarely seen outside cultivation. It is grown like other aloes: give it bright light, let the soil dry fully between waterings, and keep it frost free.
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.
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.
