| dc.description.abstract | Since the name Aloe thompsoniae Groenew. was published in the mid-1930s, doubt has existed about whom it was named for. We determine that the specific epithet commemorates (Mrs) Edith Awdry (‘Googoo’) Thompson [née Eastwood] (2 January 1895–2 August 1991) who first collected material on which the name is based. Biographical information is provided for Awdry Thompson, as well as notes on naming species after people. | en |

Es werden biographische Angaben zu Awdry Thompson gegeben, gefolgt von Bemerkungen über die Benennung von Arten nach Personen. | de |
