Aloe elegans is a species of plant. It is found in West Sudan, Eritrea and Central Ethiopia

Description

When mature, an Aloe elegans will be 3-4 ft tall. These plants are very undistinguished and similar. Most central African aloes are like this. It features green leaves with red margins and sometimes red or maroon tips. Young leaves may have white spots that tend to go away as they age.[4]

Flowers

Flowers are on tall racemes that branch and end in small clumps of yellow-orange or scarlet flowers which are tubular like most aloe flowers.[5]
