It’s a Malagasy aloe from the Ambalavao region. We bought it in 2003 from Joël Lodé. At the time, it was sold under the name Aloe ibitiensis, then J.-P. Castillon recognized that it was Aloe deltoideondota var. fallax and, since 2014, Aloe horombensis ssp. fallax. Flowering takes place in late autumn.
