dc.description.abstractAloe graciliflora Groenew., which has previously been included in the synonymy of A. greatheadii Schönland var. davyana (Schönland) Glen & D.S.Hardy, is here reinstated. This species is adapted to the climatic extremes of South Africa’s eastern Highveld where it occurs southward from near Dullstroom to Waterval- Boven and Badplaas, and westward to Carolina. Morphologically it differs from A. greatheadii var. davyana by having larger flowers that generally lack the greyish longitudinal stripes, the flower colour being more intensely red, and by being a more robust plant in all respects.en
dc.description.abstractAloe graciliflora Groenew., die früher als Synonym von A. greatheadii Schönland var. davyana (Schönland) Glen & D.S.Hardy betrachtet wurde, wird hier wieder als Art interpretiert. Die Art ist an die klimatischen Extreme des östlichen Higvelds von Südafrika angepasst, wo sie von nahe Dullstroom nach Süden bis Waterval-Boven und Badplaas, und nach Westen bis Carolina vorkommt. Morphologisch unterscheidet sich die Art von A. greatheadii var. davyana durch grössere Blüten, die in der Regel keine gräuliche Längsstreifung zeigen und deshalb intensiver rot sind, sowie durch die in allen Belangen robusteren Pflanzen.de
