Aloe tororoana is a species of Aloe native to southeast Uganda. [4]
Description
This plant has rosettes to about 20 cm and also will clump. Plant leaves are green with white specks likely to radiate heat to cool the plant down in the desert. The plants are native to a location very near the equator, but because of the elevation, they have very good frost resistance.[5]
Flowers
Flowers are on racemes about 40 cm, and flowers are in clumps with bright red-orange with green tips.
Entomology
The name references Tororo Rock which was then thought to be where the species was endemic to.[5]
