dc.description.abstract |
The KwaZulu-Natal province of South Africa has a varied topography, geology and climate and presents
diverse habitats that support a rich and diverse flora. Aloes are well represented in KwaZulu-Natal, with
four genera [Aloe L., Aloiampelos Klopper & Gideon F.Sm., Aloidendron (A.Berger) Klopper & Gideon
F.Sm. and Aristaloe Boatwr. & J.C.Manning] and 49 taxa occurring in the province. Fourteen of these are
endemic and eleven near-endemic to the province. A floristic treatment of the aloes of KwaZulu-Natal
is presented in the form of a synoptic review. Included are an identification key to the aloes that occur
naturally in the province, species-level distribution maps and accompanying images, so providing for the
first time, an atlas of aloe occurrence in this part of the subcontinent. |
