Aloinopsis spathulata is a species of succulent plant in the genus Aloinopsis native to South Africa.[1] It has spoon-shaped green leaves patterned with tubercles, and unlike the yellow flowers of most in its genus, it has magenta to pink blooms.[2][3] Able to grow in Sutherland, the coldest town in South Africa, it is particularly frost hardy.
