dc.description.abstract Aloe candelabrum A.Berger (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae), a stately, single-stemmed species from the KwaZulu-Natal province in eastern South Africa, which had been included in the synonymy of A. ferox Mill. for some years, is reinstated. The entire distribution range of A. candelabrum falls within the Maputoland-Pondoland Region of Endemism on the eastern seaboard of South Africa. In contrast, Aloe ferox occurs widely in the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, the southern Free State province, as well as southern Lesotho. It does not occur in KwaZulu-Natal. en_ZA
dc.description.abstract Aloe candelabrum A. Berger (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae), eine stattliche, einstämmige Art aus der Provinz KwaZulu-Natal im östlichen Südafrika, die jahrelang in die Synonymie von A. ferox Mill. gestellt wurde, wird wieder anerkannt. Das gesamte Verbreitungsgebiet von A. candelabrum liegt innerhalb der Endemismus- Region Maputoland-Pondoland an der östlichen Meeresküste von Südafrika. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Aloe ferox weit verbreitet in den südafrikanischen Provinzen Western Cape und Eastern Cape, der südlichen Provinz Free State sowie im südlichen Lesotho; in KwaZulu-Natal kommt sie nicht vor. en_ZA
