Aloinopsis luckhoffii is a species of flowering plant in the genus Aloinopsis. It is a succulent subshrub native to the western Cape Provinces of South Africa, where it grows in deserts or dry shrublands.[1] Like other Aloinopsis it grows in a rosette of leaves close to the ground. It has angular leaves that are covered by small, white tooth-like protrusions.[2]
