From material originally collected by Rauh near Bezaha, Madagascar, this small species slowly offsets to form small clumps. The leaves are blue-green and marked with faint lines, white spots, and a vaguely pink margin, and they tend to gain a reddish glow when stressed. The flowers are held in a dense panicle and are orange-red. These plants are rooted offsets in 5-inch pots. Owing to the taxonomy complexity of this species, we have previously sold these plants as A. deltoideodonta var. brevifolia and A. imalotensis (spotted form). The recent Aloes of Madagascar book clarifies this species.
