1. Aloe welwitschii Klopper & Gideon F.Sm. , nom. nov.

Haworthia angolensis Baker (1878: 263) . Chortolirion angolense (Baker) Berger (1908: 73) . Type:— ANGOLA. Huilla District: flowered November 1859, F.M.J. Welwitsch 3756 (holotype BM000911693!).

Etymology: —Since the name Aloe angolensis Baker (1878: 263) already exists, this combination is not available for Chortolirion angolensis . The new name commemorates Friedrich Martin Josef Welwitsch (1806–1872), who collected the type specimen and is estimated to have made over 10,000 botanical collections in Angola, representing around 5,000 species ( Albuquerque et al. 2009).
