Both occur in the northern mountains of Somalia; A. grisea in the Golis Range at Gaan Libah and Sheikh, and A. albovestita in the A1 Madu Range north and north east of Erigavo. A third new species is A. citrina from near Bulo Burti, extending into Kenya and Ethiopia. Aloe rigens var. glabrescens from the Las Anod—El Afwein area is raised to specific rank as A. glabrescens. All are diploid with 2n = 14 chromosomes.
