Abstract
- 3. Aloe jeppeae Klopper & Gideon F.Sm., nom. nov. Chortolirion latifolium Zonneveld & Fritz (2010: 32). Type:— SOUTH AFRICA. Free State: Bloemfontein near airport, 24 April 2009, G.P.J. Fritz 1025 (holotype PRE!). Etymology: —Since the name Aloe latifolia (Haworth 1804: 7) Haworth (1812: 82) already exists, this combination is not available for Chortolirion latifolium. The new name commemorates Barbara Joan Jeppe (1921–1999), who wrote and illustrated a book on the aloes of South Africa (Jeppe 1969) that is now considered to be valuable historical literature on the genus (Smith & Steyn 2000). Despite her contributions to illustrating the aloes of South Africa, she has never been commemorated in the genus Aloe.
