Aletris fragrans Linnaeus , Species Plantarum, ed. 2, 1: 456. 1762.

"Habitat in Africa." RCN: 2505.

Lectotype (Wijnands, Bot. Commelins: 130. 1983): [icon] " Aloe Africana arborescens floribus albicantibus fragrantissimis " in Commelin, Hort. Med. Amstelod. Pl. Rar. 2: 7, t. 4, f. 2. 1701.

Current name: Dracaena fragrans (L.) Ker-Gawl. ( Agavaceae / Dracaenaceae ).

Note: Coode (in Bosser & al., Fl. Mascareignes 183: 21. 1978) treated 440.4 (LINN) as the type but this is a later addition to the collection annotated only by Linnaeus filius, and not original material for the name (see Bos in Misc. Pap. Landbouwhoogeschool 84-1: 73. 1984).
