From Muvaroa Hill in the Eastern Province of Kenya, this shrubby Aloe prolifically offsets to form a sprawling plant. It has gray-green leaves with few spots and yellow sap that dries brown. The leaves are rather stiff, and although this is common in Aloes, it gave rise to the epithet. The flowers are dark red, secund, and distributed along inflorescences but are relatively crowded at the tips. These plants are rooted cuttings in one-gallon pots.
