dc.description.abstractA new species of Aloe L., Aloe sharoniae N.R.Crouch & Gideon F.Sm., is recognised from northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and Swaziland. This taxon was previously known as A. cooperi Baker subsp. pulchra Glen & D.S.Hardy but is here elevated to the rank of species. From A. cooperi Baker it differs in having leaves that are consistently devoid of teeth in the upper 2/3 of its leaf margins and basally covered below with white, tuberculate maculations. These leaves are further always strongly keeled and arranged distichously. Plants typically present both fewer leaves, and fewer flowers per inflorescence than typical A. cooperi.en
dc.description.abstractAus dem nördlichen KwaZulu- Natal (Südafrika) und Swaziland wird eine neue Art von Aloe L. anerkannt: Aloe sharoniae N.R. Crouch & Gideon F. Sm. Das Taxon war bisher als A. cooperi Baker subsp. pulchra Glen & D.S.Hardy bekannt, und wird hier in den Rang einer Art erhoben. Es unterscheidet sich von A. cooperi Baker durch Blätter, die einheitlich in den oberen 2/3 des Blattrandes keine Zähne haben, und die basal mit weissen, warzigen Flecken besetzt sind. Darüberhinaus sind die Blätter stets stark gekielt und zweizeilig angeordnet. Typischerweise zeigen die Pflanzen im Vergleich mit typischen A. cooperi sowohl weniger Blätter wie auch weniger Blüten pro Blütenstand.de
