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
.
