dc.description.abstract We argue that the names Aloe hexapetala Salm-Dyck, A. drepanophylla Baker, Aloe chloroleuca Baker and Aloe platylepis Baker should not be regarded as competing with the name Aloe speciosa Baker. The latter name is well-known, widely used, and can be easily linked to natural populations of an aloe that is widespread in South Africa’s Western and Eastern Cape Provinces. The other names are to be regarded as insufficiently known. en_US
dc.description.abstract Wir sind der Meinung, dass die Namen Aloe hexapetala Salm-Dyck, A. drepanophylla Baker, Aloe chloroleuca Baker und Aloe platylepis Baker nicht derart zu interpretieren sind, dass sie den Namen Aloe speciosa Baker konkurrenzieren. Dieser letzt-genannte Name ist gut bekannt, wird weitherum verwendet, und kann leicht mit natürlichen Populationen einer Aloe in Verbindung gebracht werden, die in den südafrikanischen Provinzen Western Cape und Eastern Cape weit verbreitet ist. Die übrigen Namen sollten als "ungenügend bekannt" betrachtet werden. en_US
