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

Wir stellen fest, dass das Artepithet (Mrs) Edith Awdry (‘Googoo’) Thompson [geborene Eastwood] (2. Januar 1895– 2. August 1991) ehrt, die als Erste Material sammelte, auf dem der Name basiert. Es werden biographische Angaben zu Awdry Thompson gegeben, gefolgt von Bemerkungen über die Benennung von Arten nach Personen. de
