Aloe secundiflora is an aloe widespread in open grassland and bushland in Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Usually an acaulescent rosette of spreading, glossy, dull glaucous green leaves. The leaves are usually slightly recurved at the tips. Young plants often have spots on their leaves, especially the undersides.
