dc.description.abstractAloe mendesii Reynolds (Asphodelaceae) is a distinctive cliff-dwelling species from southern Angola. It is one of the few species of Aloe L. that Dr G.W. Reynolds described using immature flowering material. Although the name has an unambiguously designated holotype, up to now uncertainty existed as to the origin of the material on which it was based. It is shown conclusively that Dr Eduardo Mendes sent material that he obtained from Mr J. Brito Teixeira to Reynolds in Swaziland. Reynolds described the new species in 1964 from this material, naming it for Mendes. However, the type was collected by Sr R. [Romeu Mendes dos] Santos and Sr C. [Carlos Alves] Henriques, under the number Santos & Henriques 1131, at Tundavala on 4 July 1963, a year before Reynolds published this new name.en
dc.description.abstractAloe mendesii Reynolds (Asphodelaceae) ist eine gut charakterisierte, Felsen bewohnende Art aus dem südlichen Angola. Es ist eine der wenigen Arten von Aloe L. die Dr. G. W. Reynolds auf der Basis von unreifem blühendem Material beschrieben hat. Obwohl der Name einen eindeutig bezeichneten Holotyp hat, existieren bis heute Unsicherheiten bezüglich der Herkunft des Materials, auf dem er basiert. Hier wird überzeugend dargelegt, dass Dr. Eduardo Mendes das Material von Herrn J. Brito Teixeira erhalten und an Reynolds in Swaziland geschickt hatte. Reynolds beschrieb die neue Art 1964 auf der Basis dieses Beleges und benannte es nach Mendes. Der Typ wurde jedoch von Sr. R. [Romeu Mendes dos] Santos und Sr C. [Carlos Alves] Henriques am 4. Juli 1963 bei Tundavala unter der Nummer Santos & Henriques 1131 gesammelt, d.h. ein Jahr bevor Reynolds den neuen Namen publizierte.de
