Alooideae). Phytotaxa 571 (1): 91-96, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.571.1.81179-3163 (online)1179-3155 (print)10.11646/phytotaxa.571.1.8https://repository.up.ac.za/handle/2263/88803A red- and several yellow-flowered variants of Aloiampelos tenuior (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae), a species of scrambling aloe, are well known, including in cultivation, and apart from the autonymic variety, at least four others have been given taxonomic recognition at that rank. The yellow-flowered varieties of A. tenuior are predominantly, but not exclusively, based on vegetative characters, while the red-flowered variety is distinguished by its flower colour, as well as vegetative characters. The orange-flowered form of A. tenuior, which is much less common in cultivation than A. tenuior var. tenuior or A. tenuior var. rubriflora, is here described as A. tenuior var. ernstii.en© 2022 Magnolia Press.AloeAloiampelos tenuiorSouth Africa (SA)Scrambling aloeArticle
