Aloe ankaranensis is a species of Aloe native to Northwestern Madagascar. [1]
Aloe ankaranensis is a cliff dwelling species of Aloe similar to and possibly synonymous with Aloe prostrata . Aloe ankaranensis is a rosette-forming succulent, with dark green, curved leaves. White teeth are present on the leaves about 3mm. The red flowers grow on an inflorescence typical of Aloes, eventually turning into long-lasting fleshy berries. It can be differentiated from Aloe prostrata via the naturally Variegated leaves. [2]
