Abstract

: The conservation status of Aloe davyana, A. davyana var. subolifera, and A. labiaflava (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae) is discussed. These three taxa were recently reinstated as accepted species (A. davyana and A. labiaflava), with A. davyana var. subolifera included as the only non-autonymic variety in A. davyana. Of these three aloes, the autonymic A. davyana and A. davyana var. subolifera are of Least Concern, while A. labiaflava is Endangered
Der Erhaltungszustand von Aloe davyana, A. davyana var. subolifera und A. labiaflava (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae) wird diskutiert. Diese drei Taxa wurden kürzlich wieder als anerkannte Arten (A. davyana und A. labiaflava) eingestuft, wobei A. davyana var. subolifera neben dem Autonym A. davyana var. davyana die einzige Varietät von A. davyana ist. Von diesen drei Aloen sind A. davyana var. davyana und A. davyana var. subolifera nicht gefährdet, während A. labiaflava vom Aussterben bedroht ist
