ISI 2026-9. Aloe cremnophila Reynolds & P. R. O. Bally.
This rare Somalian aloe is known only from precipitous cliff faces of the Daloh escarpment, overlooking the Gulf of Aden. This rises to over 2000 m and catches moisture rising from the sea below supporting this species and other vegetation in this zone. This aloe is one of a group of species forming colonies of small rosettes of relatively few leaves that, when turgid, can be convex on both surfaces. It is thought to be most closely related to Aloe jacksonii Reynolds from Ethiopia but lacks the white spots of that species, being mostly a solid light green to gray green. We offer plants from tissue culture of HBG 103037, from the Zurich Succulent Collection, ZSS 89 2320/0, a collection originally made by Peter R. O. Bally (#10334), October 2, 1954, at 2100 m on the Daloh Escarpment of Somalia, 18 km N of Erigavo.
