dc.description.abstractA new restricted range species of maculate Aloe L. (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae), A. braamvanwykii Gideon F.Sm. & Figueiredo is described from near Wolmaransstad in the North- West Province of South Africa. The species is related to five other summer-flowering maculate aloes in the A. zebrina-complex: A. ammophila Reynolds, A. komatiensis Reynolds, A. lettyae Reynolds, A. transvaalensis Kuntze (probably its nearest relative) and A. vandermerwei Reynolds, but differs from these five species in several aspects. Aloe ammophila, A. komatiensis, A. transvaalensis and A. vandermerwei have previously been included in the synonymy of A. zebrina Baker, and are here reinstated. Aloe braamvanwykii is adapted to the climatic extremes of the country’s central north-western grasslands where it is subject to very low winter and high summer temperatures.en_US
dc.description.abstractEs wird eine neue geflecktblättrige Art von Aloe L. (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae), A. braamvanwykii Gideon F.Sm. & Figueiredo, aus der Nähe von Wolmaransstad in der North-West-Provinz von Südafrika beschrieben. Die Art ist mit fünf weiteren sommerblühenden, gefleckt-blättrigen Arten aus dem A. zebrina-Komplex verwandt: A. ammophila Reynolds, A. komatiensis Reynolds, A. lettyae Reynolds, A. transvaalensis Kuntze (möglicherweise die am nächsten verwandte Art) und A. vandermerwei Reynolds, unterscheidet sich aber in verschiedenen Merkmalen von diesen fünf Arten. Aloe ammophila, A. komatiensis, A. transvaalensis and A. vandermerwei wurden bisher als Synonyme zu A. zebrina Baker gestellt, werden hier aber wieder als eigenständige Arten betrachtet. Aloe braamvanwykii ist an die klimatischen Extreme der zentral-nordwestlichen Grasländer Südafrikas angepasst, wo sie sehr tiefen Winterund hohen Sommertemperaturen ausgesetzt ist.en_US
