Description

1. Aloe welwitschii Klopper & Gideon F.Sm., nom. nov.

Haworthia angolensis Baker (1878: 263). Chortolirion angolense (Baker) Berger (1908: 73). Type:— ANGOLA. Huilla District: flowered November 1859, F.M.J. Welwitsch 3756 (holotype BM000911693!).

Etymology: —Since the name Aloe angolensis Baker (1878: 263) already exists, this combination is not available for Chortolirion angolensis. The new name commemorates Friedrich Martin Josef Welwitsch (1806–1872), who collected the type specimen and is estimated to have made over 10,000 botanical collections in Angola, representing around 5,000 species (Albuquerque et al. 2009).
